“…Walking barefoot is good for health and prolonged consumption of oral hypoglycemic drugs can affect the kidney were the other misconceptions identified. In a recent ethnographic study among Javanese patients with diabetes by Sari et al 40 to explore their cultural beliefs and practices, similar findings were also reported. Misconceptions are barriers to disease management, often shaped in people's minds by culture.…”

“…Religiosity and spirituality act as coping mechanisms among people living with diabetes because it has been found that people with high religiosity could lower their blood glucose levels but not those with low religiosity. 40 In their ethnographic study in Myanmar, Wah Oo et al 42 reported similar findings where spiritual and religious beliefs act as coping mechanisms for diabetes. However, van Houtum 53 argues that religion can dictate a lifestyle or habits that harm an individual’s health or complicate existing illnesses.…”

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the cultural beliefs and practices of the Pnar tribe in terms of their self-management of diabetes. Methods: A qualitative study design using an ethnographic approach was adopted to understand the experiences of the Pnar women with type 2 diabetes. Around 60 women living with diabetes across 20 villages in the Thadlaskein rural block were interviewed in the Pnar language. Thematic analysis was employed to identify the pattern related to beliefs and cultural practices in the self-management of diabetes across the data set. Results: Misconceptions related to diet, such as all vegetables grown underground need to be avoided and bitter herbs and vegetables are good for blood glucose control, were reported. Participants used home remedies and complementary and alternative medicine to bring down their blood glucose levels. Participants believe that diabetes is an episodic or short-term illness and can be cured through herbal medicine. Participants reported that consuming atta or round flat bread made of wheat flour instead of rice caused “acidity.” Conclusions: Misconceptions are barriers to disease management, which are often shaped in people’s minds by culture. Therefore, health care service providers must know what people think about diabetes and its management. Accordingly, information related to diabetes should be disseminated to the masses for effective management of diabetes.

Prevention of diabetes complications has an important role in decreasing mortality and morbidity in diabetes patients. Self-management in diabetic patients (DSM) is a recommended strategy to increase the quality of life in diabetes patients. Several factors are related to self-management in diabetic patients. This study aims to discover factors related to self-management in diabetic patients. This is a cross-sectional study performed on 42 diabetic patients. Respondents were given a Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24) and a self-management behaviour questionnaire in Diabetes Mellitus (SMDM). Data was analyzed using SPSS version 26. This study had no significant relation between age and self-management (p = 0.987). There was also no statistically significant relationship between gender, education level, and knowledge level with p-value of 0.651, 0.559, and 0.558, respectively. Moreover, there was no correlation between participation in chronic disease management programs and self-management with p = 0.559. This study concluded no correlation between age, gender, education level, knowledge level, and participation in chronic disease management programs with self-management of diabetic patients.

“…However, screening activities require time, knowledge, training, and skills from professional health workers, in this case nurses or doctors, to provide effective results. Providing education and screening for the diabetic foot in DM patients is not carried out optimally due to numerous responsibilities that must be carried out by health workers (Sari et al, 2022). For this reason, it is important to develop an instrument for early detection of diabetic foot that is easy and capable of quickly identifying patients who are more susceptible to diabetic foot, where the results can help determine priorities for clinical examination of patients at risk.…”

Diabetes foot ulcer (DFU) is one of the main complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and one of the main causes of death worldwide from non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The development of an instrument tool for the early diagnosis of diabetic foot is crucial since the findings can be used to prioritize clinical examinations for patients who are at risk. This literature review aimed to examine the philosophical viewpoint on transculturalizing instrument instruments to detect DFU from a variety of study reports published in both domestic and foreign journals. The original research publications published between January 2018 and December 2023 were the focus of the literature search. This study used secondary data, which came from 17 credible journal publications obtained from Science Direct, CINAHL, Pubmed, and SCOPUS databases. The PICOS framework was utilized to assess the papers’ suitability after they were selected. Articles meeting the inclusion requirements would be chosen: the studies should show the outcome of DFU detection or intervention for the outcome, and the population should consist of DM patients with or without DFU, with early DFU detection or intervention for Intervention. The studies could use any kind of research design, including descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, quasi-experimental, randomized controlled trials, and mixed methods, and should be written in English. The result of this literature review showed all the newly developed instrument tools to detect DFU have tested the validity and reliability of content, particularly translation to the local language to meet cultural appropriateness. It is important for researchers working on new DFU detection risk tools to consider including transcultural theory in their assessment instruments for DFU early detection.
