Abstract:
quasi experimental study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of foot care nursing interventions on level of knowledge regarding diabetic foot ulcer among 200 samples. Background variables and structured knowledge questionnaire were used to assess the level of knowledge. Foot care nursing interventions were given to the study groups 1(with Diabetic foot ulcer – DFU) and 2 (without DFU); whereas the control group 1 (with DFU) and control group 2 (without DFU) received regular care. The study revealed that majority of them (66.00%, 45.84%, 65.31%, and 50.00%) were at moderate risk for diabetic foot ulcer. Almost half the samples in both the study and control group without DFU and around 33.33% in the groups with DFU had low risk for diabetic foot ulcer. None of them had high risk. In the pre-test, majority of the samples (79.17%, 77.08%, 81.63% 7 79.17%) in all four groups had inadequate knowledge. In post-test 1 and 2, most of the (41.67% and 54.17%) and (47.92% & 56.25%) samples in the study groups attained a moderate level of knowledge; whereas, in the control groups, majority continued to have inadequate knowledge. In post-test 3, above half the samples in both the study groups gained adequate knowledge; however, it was inadequate for those in the control groups. The baseline scores were almost similar for both study groups. The one-way ANOVA test indicates the absence of a significant statistical difference at p=0.99, ensuring homogeneity. By post-test 3, the majority of participants in the study groups had attained adequate knowledge (with DFU: 18.54 ± 3.38, without DFU: 18.28 ± 3.28), whereas the control groups continued to show negligible improvement (with DFU: 10.46 ± 2.71, without DFU: 10.38 ± 3.09). The one-way ANOVA test demonstrated an extremely significant difference between the groups (F=105.29, P=0.001), confirming the effectiveness of the intervention.
