Diabetic foot ulcers are challenging to heal, increase the risk of lower extremity amputation, and place a significant burden on patients, families, and healthcare systems. Prioritizing preventive interventions holds the promise of reducing patient suffering, lowering costs, and improving quality of life. This study describes a scoping review protocol that will be used to delineate the preventive interventions for diabetic foot ulcers employed in different healthcare settings.
The scoping review methodology was formulated in accordance with the PRISMA extension guidelines for scoping reviews and informed by the procedural insights provided by the JBI methodology group. Studies with participants diagnosed with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, aged 18 years or older, without an active ulcer at baseline, and studies of preventive interventions for foot ulcers in various healthcare settings will be screened. The search strategy was developed in collaboration with a research librarian using the PRESS checklist and no time or language limitations were applied. Data will be analyzed and summarized descriptively, including characteristics of studies, participants, and interventions.
Understanding the strategies and gaps in diabetic foot ulcer prevention is critical. The literature can provide valuable insights for developing tailored interventions and strategies to effectively address these gaps, potentially accelerating progress toward improved outcomes in diabetic foot ulcer prevention.

糖尿病足溃疡愈合具有挑战性，会增加下肢截肢风险，并给患者、家庭和医疗保健系统带来沉重负担。优先开展预防性干预措施有望减轻患者痛苦、降低成本并提高生活质量。本研究描述了一项范围综述方案，该方案将用于界定在不同医疗环境中采用的糖尿病足溃疡预防性干预措施。
范围综述方法是根据PRISMA范围综述扩展指南制定的，并参考了JBI方法学小组提供的程序见解。将筛选针对18岁及以上被诊断为1型和2型糖尿病、基线时无活动性溃疡的参与者的研究，以及各种医疗环境中足部溃疡预防性干预措施的研究。搜索策略是与一名研究图书馆员合作制定的，使用了PRESS清单，且未设置时间或语言限制。将对数据进行描述性分析和总结，包括研究、参与者和干预措施的特征。
了解糖尿病足溃疡预防的策略和差距至关重要。文献可为制定量身定制的干预措施和策略提供宝贵见解，以有效弥补这些差距，可能会加速在糖尿病足溃疡预防方面取得更好成果的进程。
