“…These findings could be explained by the following, the patients included in the study might need more time to perform this practice regularly, because practical skills need more time to be mastered, as well as the patients might need awareness and when they acquire knowledge, and do foot care practice by themselves, this might reflect positively on outcomes that could result from this practice. This finding is in agreement with Dizar et al, (2016) & Lamchahab et al, (2011, who reported that it takes time to make patients proactive patients in relation to foot care practices. Also, in agreement with these findings, Gholap, and Mohite, (2013) &Martin, (2012) who mentioned that this is a reflection of good compliance; as patients who are provided with adequate knowledge and practice will be more compliance and will carry out all self-care practice completely.…”

Background: Children Diabetic foot is one of the serious health problems for patients with diabetes. In order to reduce the risk of developing diabetic foot, patients are encouraged to follow specific self-care and preventive guideline to control the occurrence of diabetic foot. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the recommended self-care guideline on knowledge and practice of diabetic patient toward preventing development of diabetic foot. Method: Quasi experimental design was used to conduct this study in medical wards in El Salam Hospital. A purposeful sample technique was used according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, fifty diabetic patients were agreed to participate in the study. Data Collection Tools two tools were used in the current study as follow: first tool was patient's demographic data assessment tool; second tool was interview questionnaire for assessing knowledge and practice of diabetic patients about self-care and foot care. Results: revealed that, there is statistical significant difference in the patients' knowledge and practice toward self-care guideline and foot care before and after implementing self-care guideline and foot care. Conclusion: implementation of self-care guideline for diabetic patients had statistically significant effect on their knowledge and practice toward preventing development of diabetic foot. Recommendation: Finally, it is recommended to establish a system to increase the awareness of patients with a follow up policy on how to improve knowledge and practice to prevent development of diabetic foot.

“…Our study found that health education is crucial to avoiding high FoP. Health education on diabetes is recognized as an essential measure to improve knowledge and awareness of diabetes and further reduce the risk of developing FoP ( 30 – 32 ). However, more than 35.0% of patients in our study had not received health education on diabetes.…”

ObjectiveExcessive fear of progression can affect the mental health, social function, and wellbeing of patients with chronic diseases. This study investigated the fear of progression (FoP) and the socio-demographic and clinical predictors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodThe present study is a multi-center cross-sectional study. Inpatients with T2DM were recruited by a multi-stage convenience sampling method from the department of endocrinology in 5 tertiary hospitals in Southwest China. 459 T2DM patients were consecutively enrolled. Socio-demographic, clinical data, and answers to the fear of progression questionnaire (FoP-Q) were collected.Results385 patients with complete data were eligible. The average score of FoP-Q-SF was 26.84 and 23.1% of patients reached the dysfunctional fear of progression criterion. The greatest fears were worrying about “disease progression,” “the adverse reactions of medication,” and “relying on strangers for activities of daily living.” Health education (P < 0.001), age (P = 0.002), hypoglycemia history (P = 0.006), employment status (P = 0.025) and duration since being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P = 0.032) were the related factors of fear of progression.ConclusionEarly assessment of the fear of progression was imperative to identify dysfunctional fear of progression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Meanwhile, the meaning of these predictors for strengthening healthcare professions education and patients self-management might help healthcare givers timely perform related interventions and help patients reduce their fear of progression thus actively cooperate with T2DM treatments.

“…[4][5][6][7][8] Studies have shown that diabetes knowledge correlates with glycemic control so the use of a knowledge assessment tool may be useful to educators when developing individualized education plans for patients. [9][10][11][12][13] Use of a psychometrically validated multiple-choice questionnaire to guide diabetes education sessions has resulted in improvements in clinical biomarkers, receiving preventative services related to diabetes, patient satisfaction, and healthcare costs, however, this tool is not available for use by providers. [15][16][17][18] The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that use of a curriculum-specific knowledge assessment may have clinical importance in this population.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that an increase in diabetes knowledge correlates to a decrease in fasting glucose, cholesterol, and A1C, and has shown to improve selfcare behaviors. [9][10][11][12][13] Validated diabetes knowledge scales and assessments are available for educators to utilize but they tend to measure different aspects of self-care making it challenging to determine which is most appropriate to use. 14 Other pilot programs have used a psychometrically validated tool, not yet available nationally to providers, to assess a patient's knowledge of their diabetes, lifestyle requirements, and medication-taking strategies.…”

Background: Research has shown the benefits of Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) but there is little guidance given on how to best individualize an education plan. Diabetes knowledge tends to correlate to improvements in health outcomes. Incorporating a baseline knowledge assessment may be one approach. Objectives: Describe the impact of incorporating a baseline knowledge assessment in individual DSMES on health outcomes in persons with diabetes. Methods: This single-center, quality improvement study included adult participants enrolled in a DSMES program. Participants completed a knowledge assessment at their first individual education appointment. The score determined specific areas of focus for education. Hemoglobin A1C (A1C), lipid panel, and blood pressure (BP) were recorded at baseline and at least 3 months after study entry. Baseline and follow-up results for the intervention group were compared to a control group who received DSMES but did not take the knowledge assessment. The study was IRB approved. Results: There was a significant reduction in A1C and systolic BP from baseline in the intervention group. Conclusion: DSMES had an impact on lowering A1C from baseline, but the use of the knowledge assessment at baseline did not make a larger impact on clinical biomarkers than DSMES alone.
