“…Such conditions tend to significantly impair the quality of life of older adults (16) . The findings of this research are consistent with a study carried out in the countryside of Minas Gerais, which noted the dependence of 23.9% of older adults with diabetes mellitus type 2 to cut toenails, especially among those with a diagnostic time equal to or more than five years (16)(17) . The self-care with the hygiene of the feet and the constant inspection to detect any injury will depend on the ability of the individual to examine him/herself.…”

“…In unfavorable conditions when the older adult tries to perform these actions, the risk of developing injuries, infections and, consequently amputations is increased (18)(19)(20) . To prevent these complications, it is important to detect the factors that expose the feet to risk early and to intensify the educational process of the family and of the patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 on the need for cleaning, daily inspection, use of proper footwear and actions that avoid trauma to the feet (17) . To properly manage chronic conditions, patients and their families need help and support, especially for older adults.…”

“…A hipertensão arterial sistêmica tem alta prevalência nos portadores de diabetes, sendo um fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares e comprometimento microvascular, propiciando o surgimento de retinopatia e nefropatia (28) . Esse fato foi de encontro com os achados da presente pesquisa, em que 81,5% dos diabéticos tinham como comorbidade a hipertensão arterial, apresentando-se em risco para o surgimento de complicações importantes do diabetes, achado encontrado por outro estudo (26) .…”

“…Once patient risk is identifi ed, the patient must receive guidelines on risk factors and correct care procedures (4) . Several studies emphasize the importance of nurses examining the feet of people with DM, focusing on evaluating the risk of complications, such as amputations (4)(5) , and their primary-based care (6) , and correlating social and economic factors and educational activities for self-care by means of good blood sugar control (1,(4)(5)(6) . Consequently, the purpose of this study was to identify knowledge, attitudes and practices of care to prevent diabetic foot in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2, in two Family Care Units (USF), in the municipality of Picos, Piauí, Brazil.…”
