Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an empowerment-based program. A randomized controlled trial design will be used. From August 2019 to July 2021, 160 subjects will be recruited at a medical center and randomly assigned to the intervention or comparison group. Participants in the intervention group will receive an assessment of their self-care demand and self-efficacy, as well as an empowerment-based program delivered by the project host. The program includes the identification of the problems of participants, clarification of their feelings and the significance of their problems, plan setting discussion, motivation for action, and evaluation of the execution of their plan. Empowerment-based strategies will be provided individually at the following time points: before discharge, on post-discharge days 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42, 56, 70, and 84, and at 6, 9, and 12 months post-discharge. Those in the comparison group will receive routine care only. Outcome measures include self-care behaviors, glycemic control (measured by HbA1C), diabetic foot ulcer infection, and diabetic foot ulcer recurrence. Data will be collected at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge.

Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot Ulcer

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

individual empowerment-based intervention

Participants will receive an empowerment-based intervention individually, based on five steps (i. e. problem identification, meaning and perception clarification, intervention planning, intervention delivery, and evaluation). After the principal investigator delivers a pre-discharge assessment (i. e. the self-care behavior and self-efficacy of diabetes and diabetic foot ulcer, risk factors of foot ulcer, family support, and threat belief of participant), the plan of behavioral modification will be determined by the principal investigator and participants. The subsequent follow-up and intensifying interventions will be delivered at the following time points: three days after discharge, every weeks for one month, every two weeks for subsequent two months, and then every three months for three times.
