Abstract

Background: The foot care model for uncontrolled diabetic patients is a crucial development that promotes self-management of foot care and prevents foot ulcers.


Objectives:  This research aimed to develop a foot care model and investigate its effectiveness for uncontrolled diabetic patients of the primary care unit network in Songkhla Hospital.


Methods: This research and development study was conducted in 2 phases: 1) to develop a foot care model and 2) to study the model's effectiveness—a total of 27 samples. The research tools were the model of foot care patterns and data collection using a questionnaire on foot care behaviors. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, content analysis, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon signed ranks test.


Results: The foot care model developed (KUBO) consisted of 4 parts: 1) knowledge management, 2) action management, 3) behavior management, and 4) self-management. Effectiveness after using the foot care model showed the mean foot care behaviors score of the sample increased after using the developed foot care model compared to before using, with statistical significance at p<.05. Left and right numbness decreased statistical significance at p<.05, and 100 percent of the sample had no foot ulcers.


Conclusions: The foot care model developed (KUBO) for uncontrolled diabetic patients can be used as a guideline to promote self-management behavior in foot care and prevent foot ulcers.
