Web-based Diabetic Foot Care Training Prepared With the Health Belief Model for Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Condition: Type2 Diabetes Mellitus
MeSH terms: Diabetic Foot; Diabetes Mellitus; Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Diabetes Mellitus (DM), insulin secretion, insulin action or this It is a chronic metabolic
      disease characterized by hyperglycemia caused by a defect in both of these factors.

      It is an important public health problem that causes organ and function losses due to the
      complications it creates, negatively affects the life span and quality, and creates a social
      and economic burden.Diabetic foot, known as an important complication of DM, is an important
      problem in that it causes deterioration in the quality of life of the patient, frequent and
      long-term hospitalizations, serious increase in the cost of treatment, lower extremity
      amputations and increased mortality. As a result of the literature review, it was assumed
      that the level of knowledge about diabetic foot care could affect diabetic foot care
      behaviors, self-efficacy and possible diabetic foot complications. In addition to
      conventional information, a Web-based education based on a health belief model can create
      awareness in individuals and minimize the risk of diabetic foot ulceration or amputation. The
      aim of this study is to determine the effect of web-based diabetic foot care training
      prepared according to SIM on the knowledge levels, self-efficacy and care behaviors of
      individuals with diabetes.

      Materials and Methods: This is a randomized controlled experimental study. The research
      consists of all individuals who are followed up with the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (1008
      people) registered in the Tusba Family Health Center no. Power analysis method was used to
      determine the sample size of the study. In the power analysis using Cohen's standard effect
      sizes, it was determined that 128 people, 64 in each group, should be reached in order to
      reach 80% power at 0.5% effect size, 0.05% margin of error level and 0.95% confidence
      interval. However, considering that sample loss may occur in the study, 10% more of the
      calculated sample will be included in the randomization process. In this case, it was
      determined that a total of 142 people, 71 people in each group, should be reached. In the
      study, Introductory Information Form, Foot Care Behavior Scale, Diabetic Foot Care
      Self-Efficacy Scale and Diabetic Foot Information Scale, four materials will be used.The data
      obtained in this study will be analyzed using the SPSS statistical program (SPSS-22).
