“…Additionally, the scores of personal care, podiatric care, and footwear reported 16.98 ± 7, 5.95 ± 2.11, and 12.26 ± 3.95 respectively. Although the study evaluated population of Tehran as just a province of Iran's population, their results of foot care dimensions are largely consistent with the ndings of current research (21). However, the average total DFSQ score 60.38 ± 9.9 among diabetic women in Tehran was higher than current study.…”

“…Along with the ndings of this research, other studies also emphasize the importance of the level of education and the level of knowledge of diabetic patients in preventing the occurrence of complications in patients with diabetes. Although the studies have been done before regarding foot care in Iranian patients with diabetes indicate poor awareness and subsequent inappropriate performance of diabetic Iranians (21,34), but it is clear that educational progress has a signi cant correlation with health behaviors and signi cantly improves self-care in people with diabetes (35).…”

Background and Purpose Lack of timely foot care in diabetics result in ulceration followed by infection and amputation. This study aimed to evaluate the foot self-care status and foot screening of patients suffering from diabetes around the country of Iran. Methods The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes in 10 main cities of Iran. The information about demographic and lifestyle factors, diabetes history, diabetic foot self-care situation (DFSQ) was assessed. Additionally, the neurological and vascular condition of the foot were screened by Inlow’s 60-Second Screen. Results Participants were 1094 diabetic patients. Most of the participants were female (64.8%) and married (92.5%) with the average age of 57.6 ± 10.21 (mean ± SD). The mean duration of DM was 11.56 ± 7.41 years. According to the Inlow’s 60-Second Screen criteria, 58% of patients should have foot ulcer screened yearly and 47% of the patients had peripheral neuropathy, 37% of population had inappropriate foot wear. Conclusion Considering the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy among about than half of participants in this study across Iran, it is essential to have continuous patients’ education about foot care and foot wear. Additionally, foot ulcer screening would be performed in recommended interval of Inlow screen.

Although the Tehran study only evaluated the population of one province in Iran, its findings regarding foot care dimensions align closely with our current research [ 21 ].

Background and purpose The lack of timely foot care among individuals with diabetics often lead to ulceration followed by infection and amputation. This study aimed to evaluate the foot self-care status and foot screening practices among patients with type 2 diabetes in various cities across Iran. Methods The cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on patients with type 2 diabetes in 10 main cities of Iran. The information about demographic and lifestyle factors, diabetes history, and diabetic foot self-care (DFSQ) was assessed. Additionally, the neurological and vascular condition of the foot were screened by Inlow’s 60-Second Screen. Results The study included 1094 diabetic patients with, with a majority being female (64.8%) and married (92.5%). The average age of the participants was 57.6 ± 10.21 (mean ± SD), and the mean duration of diabetes was 11.56 ± 7.41 years. Based on Inlow’s 60-Second Screen criteria, 58% of the patients should undergo yearly foot ulcer screening, 47% exhibited peripheral neuropathy, and 37% were found to have inappropriate footwear. Conclusion The high prevalence of peripheral neuropathy observed in approximately half of the participants across different regions of Iran underscores the importance of continuous patient education regarding foot care and appropriate footwear. Furthermore, regular foot ulcer screenings, following the recommended intervals outlined in Inlow’s screening protocol, should be implemented to effectively manage diabetic foot complications.
