“…Considering the maximum and minimum scores obtainable on those scales, it can be said that the diabetic foot knowledge and self-care behaviors of the persons with T2DM were below the medium level. There are similar results in the literature (Azmi et al, 2020; Bekele & Berhanu, 2021; Gökdeniz & Akgün Şahin, 2022; Pourkazemi et al, 2020; Sulistyo et al, 2018). In one scoping review, 58 studies on determining diabetic foot care knowledge and its implementation in persons with DM, it was reported that there were differences in the levels of foot care knowledge and implementation in persons with DM (Manickum et al, 2021).…”

Introduction: This study aimed to determine the relationship between ablution ritual and foot knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers in Muslims with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methodology: A descriptive, comparative method was utilized to identify ablution ritual and foot knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers. Results: There were 228 persons with T2DM, with 162 participants (71.1%) in the ablution group and 66 participants (28.9%) in the no-ablution group, with 19.7% having diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic foot knowledge and foot self-care behaviors of persons with T2DM were below a medium level, and there was a significant difference between ablution behavior and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers ( x2 =6.646, p<.05). Discussion: Culturally congruent interventions that acknowledge and understand the cultural practices and beliefs of Muslims with T2DM may be recommended to enhance their knowledge levels and promote positive behavior changes.

“…These are correlated with risk factors, insufficient information, and lack of compliance with treatment. Understanding the levels of knowledge and practice in persons with T2DM is necessary to bring the potential complications of T2DM under control (Bekele & Berhanu, 2021; Pourkazemi et al, 2020).…”

“…2 Diabetic ulcers are one of the most common complications experienced by diabetes mellitus. 3 The increase in diabetes mellitus patients has an impact on increasing the incidence of diabetic ulcers because 15% of patients with diabetes mellitus have diabetic ulcers. 4 The prevalence of diabetes is expected to increase from 9.3% (463 million) in 2019 to 10.2% (578 million) in 2030 and 10.9% (700 million) in 2045.…”

Background: The most frequent consequence for those with diabetes mellitus is diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic ulcer treatment must be done properly and on time. The development of online-based intervention by nurses, such as messaging health, may improve the clinical outcome of diabetic foot ulcers by providing easier access, more convenience, and cost-effectiveness, especially for patients in rural areas. Objective: This study aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis the models and efficacy of online nurse-led intervention on clinical outcomes of diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: Randomized Controlled Trials were searched by using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The final inclusion study analyzed and synthesized by tabulation, clusterization, contextual and thematic approach, and assessed risk of bias by using RoB 2.0. The study used Mantel Haenszel method. Results: Five randomized controlled trials with 1399 total number of participants were included. There are three studies with some concerns and two studies with low risk of bias. The nurse-led model for diabetic foot ulcer care consists of phone and web-based that conducted by nurse (community nurses and clinical nurses) and doctor specialists are involved in the service. The meta-analysis for amputation outcome showed that telehealth has more favor amputation number with RR 0.6 (95 % CI 0.43 - 0.84; p = 0.003). For healing wounds and mortality outcome, telehealth with RR 1.07 (95% CI 0.99 - 1.16; p = 0.11) and RR 1.37 (95 % CI 0.78 - 2.40; p =0.28), respectively. Conclusions: Phone and web-based may improve clinical outcome of diabetic foot ulcers in terms of amputation outcome, but standard care still more favor in higher wound healing outcome and significantly lower mortality rate.

“…Similarly, very few studies have been conducted in Ethiopia and as such no prevalence and correlated factors have been investigated in our study area despite it being among a rural area. On top of that in our study area, more than half of the diabetes mellitus patients had poor knowledge of diabetic foot ulcer care which might increase the prevalence of foot ulcers [ 19 ]. So, this study aims to assess the magnitude and associated factors of DFU among ambulatory diabetic patients of Bedele general hospital.…”
