Summary

Abstract

Background:

Diabetes-related foot complications are a major cause of morbidity among elderly patients with diabetes, often exacerbated by inadequate self-care practices and low self-efficacy. Innovative, accessible interventions are urgently needed to empower patients in preventive foot care.

Objective:

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a self-efficacy building nursing program, delivered virtually, on foot self-care confidence and perceived risk of foot complications among elderly diabetic patients.

Methods:

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with 120 elderly diabetic patients recruited from at the diabetic outpatient clinics at Damanhour City of El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group (60 participants) receiving the virtual self-efficacy building program or a control group ( 60 participants) receiving no interventions.

Outcomes Evaluation:

Outcomes will be measured at baseline (pretest), and immediately post-interventions (Posttest) using validated scales.

The Self-Efficacy Building Nursing Program

Intervention Description The Self-Efficacy Building Nursing Program is a structured, theory-based educational intervention grounded in Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory. It aims to enhance participants' confidence in their ability to perform daily foot self-care behaviors and perceive their risk of complications accurately. The content includes: Educational modules on diabetes and foot health. Training on daily foot inspection, hygiene, nail and skin care, and appropriate footwear. Motivational strategies, goal setting, and problem-solving skills. Video demonstrations, live discussions, and Q\&A sessions with a diabetes nurse educator. The program will be delivered over four weekly virtual sessions, each lasting approximately 45-60 minutes, via a user-friendly telehealth platform (e.g., Zoom or WhatsApp Video). Follow-up support and reminders will be provided through weekly text messages and phone check-ins.
