Summary

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education on foot care knowledge and practice/behaviour.

Research Questions

The primary question for this study is:

• Is virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education a practical and acceptable intervention among patients with diabetes in Ethiopia?

The secondary questions are:

* What is the impact of virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education on diabetes foot self-care knowledge among patients with diabetes mellitus?
* What is the impact of virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education on diabetes foot self-care behaviour among patients with diabetes mellitus?
* What is the impact of virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education on diabetes foot self-care efficacy among patients with diabetes mellitus?
* What is the impact of virtual simulation-based diabetes foot care education on diabetes foot health-belief among patients with diabetes mellitus?

Conditions

  • Diabetes Foot Care

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Diabetes Foot Care Education (DFCE)

Virtual simulation-based DFCE sessions on seven topics (the reasons for inspecting one's feet, risk factors and prevention strategies of diabetic foot ulcer, how to wash and moisturize feet, comfortable sock and shoe choices, what to look for, and what to do during feet inspection, how to trim fingernails, and how to maintain foot health) at University of Gondar computer lab for 30 minutes.
