“…This result was consistent with studies conducted in North Iran, and Bangalore with majority of their subjects had a low level of foot care behavior (Pourkazemi et al, 2020, Manjunath & Nandini, 2020. Another study by Sen et al (2019) also showed half of the participants had low footcare behavior. In Malaysia, it was consistent with a study in Kuantan, Pahang by Azmi et al (2020), which showed that half of the study subjects had poor foot care practice and poor awareness of foot care practice.…”

Diabetic foot complications result in morbidity and lower extremity amputation. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the self-awareness of foot care behavior among patients with Diabetes Mellitus. More than half of the participants (56.2%) reported a low level of foot care behavior. Gender and educational level were significantly associated with foot care behavior with p-values of 0.044 and 0.001, respectively. This study provided an insight into the current situation of foot care among patients with Diabetes Mellitus. Further research is needed to explore the new method in giving health education for behavioral change thus reducing foot complications among diabetes patients.

“…This finding was similar to several studies by Al-Gaows & Al-Zahrani (2019). In comparison, there was no significant association between gender and level of foot care in Vietnam and India by Sen et al (2019) and Pitchai & Joshi (2015). There are different foot care habits between males and females, which women usually wear improper footwear (Barwick et al, 2019).…”

Diabetic foot complications result in morbidity and lower extremity amputation. Our cross-sectional study aimed to assess the foot care behaviour among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. More than half of the participants (56.2%) reported a low level of foot care behaviour. Gender and educational level were significantly associated with foot care behaviour (p < 0.05). This study provides an overview of the current foot care behaviour in a multi-ethnic population in Southeast Asia. Future studies with rigorous methods are needed to examine the factors associated with the foot care behaviour among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

“…Diabetic patients who couldn’t read and write and completed primary education were nearly two and three times more likely to have poor foot self-care practice compared with those who completed college and above education respectively. Similar findings were reported by studies conducted in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, Kenya, Egypt, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, and Baquba city, Iraq [ 23 , 30 , 33 , 34 , 37 , 38 , 41 , 42 , 47 ]. This could be because as a diabetic patient’s educational status improves, so will his or her awareness of foot self-care principles, which is the fundamental preventive measure of diabetic foot ulceration, which will be practiced regularly.…”

Background Diabetes mellitus is emerging as a major worldwide health problem that has a social, financial, and developmental impact on developing countries. Foot complications are among the most serious and costly complications of diabetes which lead to lower extremity amputation due to diabetic foot ulcers. Poor diabetic foot self-care practice is identified by different studies as a major contributing factor to diabetic foot ulcers. Therefore, this study was intended to assess foot self-care practice and associated factors among diabetic patients attending the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized referral hospital. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 1 to August 30, 2021, at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized referral hospital. A systematic random sampling technique was employed to select 384 diabetic patients. A structured pretested interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The data was entered in epi-info version 7, analyzed using SPSS version 21, and presented using frequencies, percentages, tables, and graphs. Bivariable and multivariable analyses were investigated using a binary logistic regression model. P-value < 0.05 and an odds ratio with a 95% confidence interval were used to determine the significance and strength of the association. Results Of the 384 diabetic patients, 46.4% (95% CI (41.1%-51.6%)) of them had poor foot self-care practice. Being male [AOR = 0.54, 95% CI (0.32, 0.89)], couldn’t read and write and completed primary education [AOR = 2.35, 95% CI (1.01, 5.43)] & [AOR = 2.92, 95% CI (1.39, 6.12)], living in rural area [AOR = 3.84, 95% CI (1.91, 7.75)], having diabetic complications [AOR = 2.19, 95% CI (1.07, 4.46)], taking both injection and pills [AOR = 0.33, 95% CI (0.12, 0.88)], having previous information about foot care [AOR = 0.12, 95% CI (0.06, 0.24)], and family support [AOR = 0.57, 95% CI (0.34, 0.94)] were determinants of poor foot self-care practice. Conclusion The adherence of diabetic patients toward foot self-care practice was poor. Being male, having low educational status, living in a rural area, having diabetic-related complications, taking both injections and pills, not having previous information about foot care, and having poor family support increases the odds of having poor foot self-care practice. Giving health education to patients and their caregivers about the basic principles of diabetes foot care, like regular inspection of feet and appropriate footwear at their regular follow-up time, should be emphasized.
