Objective:To describe the knowledge and behaviors of patients with diabetes towards foot care. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at a university research and intervention center in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Data were collected through interviews, two specific questionnaires, and physical examination of the foot in 55 patients in 2005. Results: The participants did not recognize the dimension of the true risks regarding lack of foot care. The participant knowledge of diabetes did not translate into actions to prevent foot problems. These results suggest the need to take into consideration specific individual characteristics and the individual's interactions with the environment in designing educational interventions. Conclusions: Health care professionals need to understand that discrepancy between knowledge and behaviors of patients with diabetes is not an obstacle impossible to cross, but a challenging issue that needs to be addressed. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus; Primary prevention; Diabetic foot/prevention & control; Health behavior; Health knowledge, attitudes, practice RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento e comportamento de pessoas diabéticas em relação aos cuidados com os pés. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e transversal realizado em um centro de pesquisa e extensão universitária do interior paulista, em 2005. Foram entrevistados 55 pacientes diabéticos. Para a obtenção dos dados utilizamos um formulário, dois questionários e exame físico dos pés. Resultados: As pessoas diabéticas não reconhecem a dimensão do risco real com relação aos pés. O conhecimento referido nem sempre se traduz na adoção de ações de autocuidado para a prevenção de problemas relacionados aos pés. Esta realidade aponta para a necessidade de considerarmos as particularidades de cada sujeito e sua interação com o ambiente, para delineamento das intervenções educativas. Conclusões: É preciso que os profissionais de saúde compreendam que o descompasso entre conhecimento e comportamento dos diabéticos não deve ser interpretado como um obstáculo intransponível, mas como um dos desafios fundamentais que precisam ser enfrentados. Descritores: Diabetes mellitus; Prevenção primária; Pé diabético/prevenção & controle; Conduta de saúde; Conhecimentos, atitudes e prática em saúde RESUMEN Objetivo: Identificar el conocimiento y comportamiento de personas diabéticas en relación a los cuidados de los piés.

“…The recent DAWN study showed that a significant number of diabetic patients have poor psychological well-being and that providers reported that these psychological problems adversely affected regimen adherence. 18 The impact of diabetes is all-encompassing and its effects on daily life, work life and social relationships represent a significant impairment of quality of life.…”

“…These issues are known by the non-health related complications of diabetes mellitus. Péres et al [24] reported some of those challenges people with diabetes mellitus can have in their daily life including difficulties controlling impulses related to eating habits, doubts in the correct way of using medications, refusal to take insulin because of concerns regarding dose preciseness and doubts regarding time schedules for antidiabetics. Blonde [25], in addition, indicated patient deficiency in adherence to lifestyle measures and pharmacologic therapies as one of the most common reasons cited for failure to achieve glycaemic goals.…”

The area of knowledge management, the SECI mode in particular, has great value in terms of enriching patients' knowledge about their diseases and its complications. Despite its effectiveness, the application of knowledge management in the healthcare sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia seems deficient, leading to insufficient practice of self-management and education of different prevalent diseases in the Kingdom. Moreover, the SECI model seems to be only focusing in the conversion of human knowledge and ignore knowledge stored in databases and other technological means. In this paper, we propose a framework to support diabetic patients and healthcare professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to self-manage their disease. Data mining and the SECI model can provide effective mechanisms to support people with diabetes mellitus. The area of data mining has long been utilised to discover useful knowledge whereas the SECI model facilitates knowledge conversion between tacit and explicit knowledge among different individuals. The paper also investigates the possibilities of applying the model in the web environment and reviews the tools available in the internet that can apply the four modes of the SECI model. This review helps in providing a new median for knowledge management by addressing several cultural obstacles in the Kingdom.
