“…The report on a foot care task force conducted by the American Diabetes Association stressed the importance of health service users with DM having their feet assessed at least once a year and recognizing signs of possible complications to reduce lower limb amputations [ 26 ]. Batista et al [ 27 ] showed that low education levels hinder appropriate feet care, mainly due to reduced understanding of the disease and guidance given. For this reason, this type of advice should be clearly and objectively given.…”

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate inequalities in care for people with diabetes in Brazil. This cross-sectional population-based study was carried out in 2019 and evaluated care provided by receiving advice, requesting laboratory tests, and performing examinations. We used the slope index of inequality and concentration index to assess inequalities according to educational level and Poisson regression to estimate prevalence ratios for each outcome in the education category. We assessed a total of 6317 people with diabetes, 41.8% had their eyes checked, and 36.1% had their feet examined in the previous year. Prevalence for both examinations was 2.45 times higher in those from the highest level of education compared to those from the lowest level. The largest absolute differences (in percentage points) between the lowest and highest education levels in care indicators were the following: request for glycated hemoglobin test (39.0), glucose curve test (31.4), and eyes checked in the previous year (29.7). There were notable inequalities in the prevalence ratios of care provided to people with diabetes in Brazil. Requests for glycated hemoglobin tests, glucose curve tests, eye and feet examinations should be emphasized, especially for people from lower educational levels.

“…Realizar estas acciones de cuidado de los pies es importante para prevenir sequedad de la piel y aparición de fisuras, que constituyen vías de ingreso al desarrollo de procesos infecciosos y a la aparición de lesiones tisulares 15 . Dichas acciones de cuidado pueden reducir el riesgo de infección y, consecuentemente, el desarrollo del pie diabético, que en conjunto representan una de las principales causas de amputaciones en extremidades inferiores 16 . Por ese motivo, es esencial que los pacientes con DM conozcan las acciones de cuidado de los pies para minimizar la incidencia de complicaciones.…”

Objetivo: relacionar el conocimiento, la práctica y los impedimentos del autocuidado de los pies en personas con Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2, de acuerdo con sexo y nivel de estudios. Método: estudio transversal y analítico realizado con 102 usuarios de 4 unidades básicas de una ciudad del interior de Piauí, Brasil. Se recolectaron datos sociodemográficos y clínicos entre diciembre de 2018 y julio de 2019, y se los analizó en forma descriptiva por medio de la prueba de chi-cuadrado. Resultados: las mujeres presentaron mayor conocimiento y práctica en las siguientes acciones de autocuidado: hidratación (p<0,001), secado del espacio entre los dedos de los pies después de bañarse (p=0,020), hidratación de los pies con cremas/aceites hidrantes en los talones (p<0,001), hidratación de la planta de los pies (p=0,003) y uso de calzado macizo y cerrado (p=0,001); en los hombres se observó uso frecuente de calcetines (p<0,001) y medias de algodón (p<0,001). Se registró una asociación entre nivel de estudios y uso de tacones de más de 5 cm (p=0,001) y menos de 5 cm (p<0,001). Conclusión: se espera que este estudio haga posible una nueva modalidad de enfoque, con vistas a adquirir y perfeccionar acciones de autocuidado.

“…Similarly, a research (20) carried out in the Teresina, in the state of Piauí (PI),indicated a significant relation between the guidance made available by nurses to those with diabetes and the adherence to the activity of foot care. Therefore, the essence for the adherence to self-care, and, therefore, for the prevention against changes in the feet of those with diabetes, is correlated with the knowledge about the disease (21) . As a result, the positive repercussions of the follow up of this professional in the self-care of people with diabetes are reiterated, considering the benefits of sharing educational guidance.…”

Objectives: to analyze the sociodemographic and clinical variables related to the adherence to self-care activities in people with diabetes mellitus type 2. Methods: quantitative, cross-sectional study, carried out with 270 people with diabetes from December 2019 to October 2020, in São Luís, Maranhão. Results: the adherence to self-care was greater when it comes to medications (Md=7.0) and foot care (Md= 6.0), but lower in regard to blood sugar testing (Md=1.0), exercise (Md=2,0), and diet (general) (Md=4.0). The variables age group (p=0.007), educational level (p=0.015), body mass index (p=0.035), complications with diabetes (p=0.009), and nutritional follow-up (p=0.000) had associations with self-care activities. Conclusions: identifying the factors related to the adherence to self-care was found to be essential to strengthen the line of care in chronic diseases and to direct educational actions, aiming to improve the quality of life of people with diabetes.
