Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between knowledge and foot care practices among adults with type 2 diabetes. Methods A descriptive correlational study examined 200 patients with type 2 diabetes in México. Data collected included the Knowledge and Practices Self-Care Questionnaire and a Podiatry Examination Questionnaire. Data analysis included Pearson's correlations and chi-square tests. Results More than half of the participants had poor knowledge and poor foot care practices. A significant negative correlation between knowledge and practices of foot care and risk of developing diabetes foot ulcers was found. There was no relationship between sociodemographic variables and the risk of developing diabetes foot ulcers. Conclusions Patients with type 2 diabetes served in an outpatient clinic had poor knowledge and practices of foot care. They demonstrated decreased knowledge and practice of foot care and therefore showed a greater risk of developing diabetes foot, which may predispose patients to early complications.
目的 本研究的目的是探讨2型糖尿病成年人的足部护理知识与足部护理行为之间的关系。方法 一项描述性相关性研究对墨西哥的200名2型糖尿病患者进行了调查。收集的数据包括自我护理知识与行为问卷以及足病检查问卷。数据分析包括皮尔逊相关性分析和卡方检验。结果 超过一半的参与者足部护理知识匮乏且足部护理行为不佳。研究发现，足部护理知识与行为和发生糖尿病足溃疡的风险之间存在显著负相关。社会人口统计学变量与发生糖尿病足溃疡的风险之间没有关系。结论 在门诊就诊的2型糖尿病患者足部护理知识和行为较差。他们的足部护理知识和行为有所下降，因此发生糖尿病足的风险更高，这可能使患者易患早期并发症。
