Summary

This quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the effect of a disaster preparedness education program on disaster preparedness levels, foot care behaviors, and diabetic foot care self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes diagnosed with diabetic foot. Participants are assigned to an intervention group receiving structured education on diabetic foot management and disaster preparedness, or to a control group receiving routine care. Outcomes are assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up.

Disaster Preparedness Education Program

The intervention consists of two face-to-face theoretical education sessions delivered over two weeks. Week 1 includes a 2-hour session on diabetic foot management (definition, risk factors, care principles) supported by visual materials and interactive Q\&A. Week 2 includes a session on disaster and emergency management for individuals with diabetic foot, covering preparedness before disasters, actions during disasters, and post-disaster strategies to protect foot health. The contents of an emergency kit/go-bag are physically demonstrated, and participants are asked to prepare their own kit and bring it to the next visit. At post-test, emergency kits/go-bags are inspected using a standardized checklist and feedback is provided for missing or incorrect items.
