“…The susceptible people are those whose feet are sensitive to injury caused by unfitted footwear that may affect long-term foot health, such as chronic patients and older peo-ple [14]. Alsheikh et al [15] researched the need for primary healthcare based on diabetic foot conditions. They found that, recently, patients have been less cared for in terms of foot health and that there is a need for further study to fill this gap.…”

Unsuitable shoe shapes and sizes are a critical reason for unhealthy feet, may severely contribute to chronic injuries such as foot ulcers in susceptible people (e.g., diabetes patients), and thus need accurate measurements in the manner of expert-based procedures. However, the manual measure of such accurate shapes and sizes is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and impractical to apply in a real-time system. This research proposes a foot-detection approach using expert-like measurements to address this concern. It combines the seven-foot dimensions model and the light detection and ranging sensor to encode foot shapes and sizes and detect the dimension surfaces. The graph-based algorithms are developed to present seven-foot dimensions and visualize the shoe’s model based on the augmented reality (AR) technique. The results show that our approach can detect shapes and sizes more effectively than the traditional approach, helps the system imitate expert-like measurements accurately, and can be employed in intelligent applications for susceptible people-based feet measurements.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) still has the highest number to date with increasingly diverse complications, one of which is diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). One of the efforts to prevent DFU is to provide education to patients to increase knowledge in performing foot care. In providing education, the use of local languages ??that are easily understood by patients will have a good impact on the process of receiving information. This study aimed to analyze the patient's knowledge in performing foot care before and after providing foot care education using the local language. Research design one group pre-post test was conducted in one of the Makassar City health centers with a total of 47 subjects. Knowledge measurement was carried out before giving education and evaluation was carried out after four weeks. Patients were given foot care packages that are in accordance with the contents of the educational video. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a significant improvement in knowledge of foot care before and after education with a p value = 0,000. Education using local languages ??could significantly increase knowledge of foot care in DM patients.

“…of the participants (35.5%) did not examine the high-risk patient's foot regularly or at every visit (33). Previous studies have shown that regular foot screening and evaluation can increase the patient's knowledge and education about foot care and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers, which highlights the importance of diabetic foot screening (34).…”

Background Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to amputation and reduced quality of life. Nurses play a vital role in preventing and managing DFUs by educating, assessing, and caring for diabetic patients. Nursing students, as future health care providers, need to have adequate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding diabetic foot care and screening. However, there is a lack of studies on these factors among nursing students in Iran.Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2022. The sample consisted of 200 nursing students from the Tabriz Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery. Data were collected using a questionnaire that included demographic and occupational characteristics, a knowledge questionnaire, an attitude questionnaire, and a diabetic foot screening checklist. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software.Results The results showed that approximately 55% of the students had relatively good knowledge, 49% had a positive attitude, and 7.5% had very good practices regarding diabetic foot care and screening. However, more than half of the students had poor knowledge or practice, and some of them considered diabetic foot care to be time-consuming.Conclusion The findings of this study revealed that the nursing students had received previous education about diabetic foot care management, but their knowledge and practice were still inadequate. Their attitude was generally positive, but some barriers existed for translating it into clinical practice. These results suggest that there is a need to improve the curriculum and training methods for nursing students regarding diabetic foot care management and screening. This can enhance their competence and confidence in providing quality care to diabetic patients and preventing DFUs and amputations.
