Improving lower extremity complications associated with type 2 diabetes can be done through effective foot care interventions that include foot care knowledge and foot care practice s. Conclusion Preventing these complications , underst and ing the risk factors , and having the ability to manage complications outside of the clinical encounter is an important part of a diabetes foot self-care management program .
Introduction The purpose of this systematic literature review is to review published studies on foot care knowledge and foot care practice interventions as part of diabetic foot care self-management interventions .
Improving Foot Self-Care Behaviors With Pies Sanos
Participants who received Pies Sanos , a 15-min intervention design ed to improve diabetes self-efficacy and foot self-care behaviors in adult patients with type 2 diabetes who lived in a predominantly Mexican American community , performed more-complete foot self-care 1 month later in their homes . Recruited when they presented for nonurgent care to the emergency department in two community hospitals near the U.S .— Mexico border , participants were r and omized into one of three groups . At follow-up , there was a significant difference in observed foot self-care behaviors between groups , F(2 , 135 ) = 2.99 , p < .05 , as well as a significant difference within the intervention , t ( 47 ) = −4.32 , p < .01 , and control group , t ( 46 ) = −2.06 , p < .05 , for baseline and follow-up self-reported foot self-care behaviors . Baseline diabetes self-efficacy was significantly and positively correlated with both baseline ( r = .335 , p < .001 ) and follow-up ( r = .174 , p < .05 ) foot self-care behaviors
