Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To assess foot-care behaviour in diabetics attending a tertiary care hospital, and to see if there are any influencing factors.

METHODS

The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from September to November 2017 at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences, Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised diabetes patients either admitted to the wards or attending the outpatient clinics. Foot-care behaviour was assessed through the validated Nottingham Assessment of Functional Foot-care scale. A score over 50 demonstrated adequate foot-care behaviour. The score was correlated with several variables. SPSS 23 was used for data analysis.

RESULTS

Of the 400 individuals, 238(59.5%) were females and 162(40.5%) were males. The overall mean age was 52.71}11.84 years. Of the total, 228(57%) had never received any education on proper foot-care; 289(72.3%) had a scale score of less than or equal to 50. Urban or rural residence, monthly income, literacy level, family history of diabetes, and previous foot-care education provided by the healthcare provider were significant factors associated with good foot-care behaviour (p<0.05 each).

CONCLUSIONS

A majority of the patients demonstrated inadequate foot-care behaviour..

摘要

目的

评估在一家三级护理医院就诊的糖尿病患者的足部护理行为，并探究是否存在任何影响因素。

方法

2017年9月至11月在巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡的巴基斯坦医学科学研究所开展了这项横断面描述性研究，研究对象包括住院病房的糖尿病患者以及门诊患者。通过经过验证的诺丁汉功能性足部护理评估量表对足部护理行为进行评估。得分超过50分表明足部护理行为良好。该得分与多个变量相关。使用SPSS 23进行数据分析。

结果

400名研究对象中，238名（59.5%）为女性，162名（40.5%）为男性。总体平均年龄为52.71±11.84岁。其中，228名（57%）从未接受过任何关于正确足部护理的教育；289名（72.3%）的量表得分小于或等于50分。城乡居住地、月收入、识字水平、糖尿病家族史以及医疗服务提供者先前提供的足部护理教育是与良好足部护理行为相关的重要因素（各p<0.05）。
