Summary

The aim of this project is to examine the effects of the online diabetic foot support program (DiaFootSuP) and care kit applied to type 2 diabetic individuals who have previously had a diabetic foot ulcer on diabetic foot outcomes (diabetic foot knowledge level, foot care behavior level, foot care self-efficacy level, HbA1c, etc.).

Detailed description

It was planned as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of the online diabetic foot support program (DiaFootSuP) and care kit applied to type 2 diabetic individuals who had previously had diabetic foot ulcers on diabetic foot outcomes. The sample calculation of the study was based on determining the difference between two independent groups and the sample size for the experimental and control groups was taken as experimental: 31-control: 31 people using the G\*Power 3.1.9.6 program. The experimental group was given a foot care kit developed by the researcher, which included special foot care products. Pre-test data for the experimental and control groups are collected from the diabetic foot knowledge scale, foot care behavior scale, and diabetic foot care self-efficacy scale. Online diabetic foot care training consisting of 5 modules is given individually to the patients in the experimental group. After the training, motivational messages and informative videos are sent once a week for 3 months. Patients are also asked to send photos while doing foot care. The post-test data of the experimental and control groups will be collected at the end of 3 months with the diabetic foot knowledge scale, foot care behavior scale, and diabetic foot care self-efficacy scale. Training videos will be delivered to the control group at the end of the study.
