Poor vision and poor pain sensation expose sufferers of diabetes to foot burn injuries. A phenomenological approach was used to illuminate the lived experience of those with diabetes who sustained foot burn injuries. Face-to-face unstructured interviews were conducted with seven patients recruited from health care facilities throughout Jordan. The interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim into Arabic, checked for accuracy and then analysed using thematic analysis. Our study highlights that household appliances are a major cause of foot burn injuries among the studied population and that culturally specific risk factors predispose Jordanians with diabetes to foot burn injuries, namely ablution for males and cooking activities for females. Participants sought health care when home remedies failed. Inconsistent management practices were identified among health care providers. Culturally specific health education programs should be made to raise patients' awareness towards avoiding possible risks at home.
视力不佳和疼痛感觉迟钝使糖尿病患者容易遭受足部烧伤。本研究采用现象学方法来阐明患有糖尿病并遭受足部烧伤的患者的生活体验。我们从约旦各地的医疗机构招募了 7 名患者进行面对面的非结构化访谈。采访以数字方式记录下来，逐字转录成阿拉伯语，然后进行准确性检查，最后使用主题分析进行分析。我们的研究结果表明，家用电器是该人群足部烧伤的主要原因，而特定于文化的风险因素使约旦的糖尿病患者易患足部烧伤，即男性的净身礼和女性的烹饪活动。当家庭疗法失败时，参与者会寻求医疗保健。我们发现医疗机构之间的管理实践不一致。应制定特定于文化的健康教育计划，以提高患者的意识，避免在家中可能出现的风险。
