Patient Empowerment Study
Patient Empowerment Study: Assessment of Quality of Life Among Patients With Diabetes Foot Ulcer
Study Overview
Status
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
There is emerging evidence that diabetic foot complications greatly affect the quality of life of patients and cause people a significant burden to life. A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is associated with deterioration the physical, mental and social life quality. Given the detrimental effect foot ulcers have on patients, it is essential that quality of life metrics be evaluated among DFU patients. To what degree can diabetic foot ulcers affect the quality of life of patients? What are the facilitators and barriers to an improved quality of life?
To gain insight into these questions Podimetrics researchers will be conducting a longitudinal study among patients suffering with a DFU. The general purpose of the study is to evaluate the current quality of life of DFU patients from the subject perspective in various domains including physical functioning, general health perception, psychological, social functioning, vitality and role limitations. The study will also explore the relationships between HRQoL and usage of the Podimetrics System. Improved understanding of patients' subjective evaluation of their quality of life, and the role of the Podimetrics System, will help clinicians provide better care for these patients.
A cohort of DFU patients will be recruited upon providing informed consent. Participant lifestyle and ulcer status information is collected by a background survey. HRQoL is assessed at baseline, 6 month and 12 month using questionnaires. The investigators intend to use two types of questionnaires for HRQoL evaluation in this study: one generic questionnaire, SF-36, which addresses general quality of life issues, and one specific questionnaire, DFS-SF, which addresses issues specific to diabetic foot diseases, such as ulcer severity and impact of ulcer care.

DFU Participants
A cohort of 200 DFU patients who have been prescribed the Podimetrics System by their healthcare providers will be recruited upon providing informed consent.
Potential participants will be asked to indicate their interest in participating in this patient empowerment study during their initial phone consultation for mat set-up with the Podimetrics care-management team.
Participants will be followed for one year and answer a set of identical questionnaires at three time points: at baseline, at 6-month and at 12-month post enrollment.
