The leaning objectives, agenda, contents and evaluation methods of the diabetic foot care workshop was designed by a multidisciplinary team members in form of 2 days workshop. Each topic of the workshop presented theoretically and practically using educational cases and real patient with diabetic foot ulcer. A valid and reliable questionnaire with 20 Multiple Choice Questions used for the evaluation of workshopin form of the pretest and posttest.
In this study, 396 registered nurses and physicians participates in the diabetic foot workshop series. The results of this study showed that this increase in the level of knowledge was meaningful after the educational intervention since the mean of the posttest score increased more than 20% comparing with pretest.

预防和管理糖尿病足溃疡对患者的生活质量有重要影响。因此，培训护理人员可以在减少足部溃疡并发症方面发挥重要作用，并提高患者医疗保健的效果和效率。我们进行了一项研究，调查糖尿病足研讨会对护士和医生诊断和管理糖尿病足知识的影响。
本研究是一项准实验研究，比较了非随机分组的护士和医生对糖尿病足护理知识的掌握情况。糖尿病足护理研讨会的学习目标、议程、内容和评估方法由多学科团队成员以 2 天研讨会的形式设计。研讨会的每个主题都通过教育案例和实际的糖尿病足溃疡患者进行理论和实践的讲解。一个有效的、可靠的问卷，其中包括 20 个多项选择题，用于评估研讨会，形式为预测试和后测试。
在这项研究中，396 名注册护士和医生参加了糖尿病足研讨会系列。研究结果表明，由于后测得分的平均值比预测试增加了 20%以上，因此教育干预后，知识水平的提高具有统计学意义。
正如研究所示，医护人员知识的提高几乎可以归因于对糖尿病足诊断、管理和康复的实际患者培训、团队合作和使用教育电影进行教育。
