“…The current study revealed the difference between the scores of the diet and foot care awareness domains and their corresponding practices indicating that being knowledgeable does not guarantee sound practices, but there is always a need to motivate for sound practices supporting again the need for communitybased interventions. The low level of foot care practice domain agrees with other recent studies [44].…”

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is predicted to increase over the coming years. AIM: The objectives of the study were to measure the level of awareness and healthy practices related to five healthy domains and assess the effect of different demographic characteristics, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, and body mass index (BMI) on these levels among diabetic patients in a rural Egyptian village. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was done on 300 selected insulin-dependent diabetic patients resident in an Egyptian village. Data were collected using a questionnaire covering five domains: General disease awareness and management compliance practice, check-up, foot care, diet, and physical activity. HbA1c and BMI were also measured as an impact of the management adherence. RESULTS: The study found that more than three quarters of the participants (82.0%) were uncontrolled or poorly uncontrolled (HbA1c >8) diabetics and 76.0% were either obese or morbidly obese. Total awareness and practices percentage scores were low (42.4 ± 16.8% and 40.5 ± 12.3%, respectively). The linear regression model showed that high educational level had significantly positive effects on both the total awareness and practice scores as well as their domains. The study found that female participants and those having relatives with DM had significantly higher diet awareness and practice scores (p < 0.05). Younger age had significantly higher scores on foot care and diet awareness scores, physical activity, general disease awareness, and management compliance practices domains. CONCLUSION: The studied awareness and practice domains were inadequate. Their improvement is cornerstones to impact glycemic control of diabetics and control their health risks, especially in rural communities.

“…Considering the maximum and minimum scores obtainable on those scales, it can be said that the diabetic foot knowledge and self-care behaviors of the persons with T2DM were below the medium level. There are similar results in the literature (Azmi et al, 2020; Bekele & Berhanu, 2021; Gökdeniz & Akgün Şahin, 2022; Pourkazemi et al, 2020; Sulistyo et al, 2018). In one scoping review, 58 studies on determining diabetic foot care knowledge and its implementation in persons with DM, it was reported that there were differences in the levels of foot care knowledge and implementation in persons with DM (Manickum et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the relationship between ablution ritual and foot knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers in Muslims with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methodology: A descriptive, comparative method was utilized to identify ablution ritual and foot knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers. Results: There were 228 persons with T2DM, with 162 participants (71.1%) in the ablution group and 66 participants (28.9%) in the no-ablution group, with 19.7% having diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic foot knowledge and foot self-care behaviors of persons with T2DM were below a medium level, and there was a significant difference between ablution behavior and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers ( x2 =6.646, p<.05). Discussion: Culturally congruent interventions that acknowledge and understand the cultural practices and beliefs of Muslims with T2DM may be recommended to enhance their knowledge levels and promote positive behavior changes.

“…Those questionnaires measured the knowledge and practices of patients with and without DFUs. Study of the Magbanua ( 17 ), Sari ( 33 ) and Sulistyo ( 31 ) were using illustrations that accompanied the questions to help participants understand the questions. Most the studies use their own national language in order to simplify the purpose of questions.…”

Since diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are common among diabetes patients, it is essential to increase patients’ knowledge and self-care practices to ensure early recognition and management and reduce amputation risk. Therefore, the goal of this review was to identify the range and level of knowledge of people with DFUs and the type of self-care they undertake. A literature review was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed and Google scholar with ‘diabetic foot’, ‘selfcare’, ‘practice’ and ‘behaviour’ as searching keywords. The identification and selection process were conducted to sort the eligible papers through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). The criteria are the original papers describing knowledge and practice in DFU; reporting knowledge and practice in their non-intervention studies; writing in English language; and publishing between years 2016 and 2022. The eligible papers were assessed using the strength of reporting observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) checklist for appraising their quality. Twenty-two papers of 2,073 titles met the inclusion criteria and included in the review. The lowest and the highest quality score of included papers based on STROBE checklist are 11 and 26, respectively. The included papers showed various levels of knowledge from good to poor, which prominent the highest percentage are 88% (good knowledge) and 84.8% (poor knowledge). The majority of the foot-care activities found in the reviewed papers involved the following steps: washing, drying, applying moisturiser and trimming nails routinely. Those activity should be followed by checking the feet with a mirror for ulcers, looking for ingrown nails, choosing appropriate footwear, not walking barefoot and routinely consulting a healthcare provider. The knowledge levels were found variable and acceptable. Daily foot care, choosing the right footwear, foot activity and regular health checks should all be used to manage diabetes.
