Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational program on pain intensity, self-efficacy, foot self-care behaviors, and health-related quality of life among adults with diabetic foot. Diabetic foot complications are a major cause of morbidity, reduced quality of life, and disability among patients with diabetes mellitus. Poor self-care practices and inadequate knowledge contribute significantly to the progression of foot ulcers and related complications.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured educational program designed to improve knowledge, self-management skills, and adherence to recommended diabetic foot care practices. The control group will receive routine care provided by the healthcare facility.

The educational program focuses on key areas including foot hygiene, daily foot inspection, appropriate footwear, glycemic control, and early identification of warning signs of complications. The primary outcomes of the study include changes in pain intensity, self-efficacy, foot self-care behaviors, and health-related quality of life, which will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention period.

The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving nursing educational interventions and enhancing self-management outcomes among patients with diabetic foot.
