Effectiveness of a Structured Educational Program on Pain Intensity, Self-Efficacy, Foot Self-Care Behaviors, and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Adults With Diabetic Foot (DF-EDU-RCT)
Effectiveness of a Structured Educational Program on Pain Intensity, Self-Efficacy, Foot Self-Care Behaviors, and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Adults With Diabetic Foot: A Randomized Controlled Trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational program on pain intensity, self-efficacy, foot self-care behaviors, and health-related quality of life among adults with diabetic foot. Diabetic foot complications are a major cause of morbidity, reduced quality of life, and disability among patients with diabetes mellitus. Poor self-care practices and inadequate knowledge contribute significantly to the progression of foot ulcers and related complications.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a structured educational program designed to improve knowledge, self-management skills, and adherence to recommended diabetic foot care practices. The control group will receive routine care provided by the healthcare facility.
The educational program focuses on key areas including foot hygiene, daily foot inspection, appropriate footwear, glycemic control, and early identification of warning signs of complications. The primary outcomes of the study include changes in pain intensity, self-efficacy, foot self-care behaviors, and health-related quality of life, which will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention period.
The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving nursing educational interventions and enhancing self-management outcomes among patients with diabetic foot.

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
Diabetic foot is one of the most serious and common complications of diabetes mellitus, often leading to infection, ulceration, hospitalization, and in severe cases, lower limb amputation. It significantly affects patients' physical, psychological, and social well-being, thereby reducing overall quality of life. Despite the availability of preventive guidelines, many patients continue to demonstrate inadequate foot self-care behaviors, poor adherence to management recommendations, and low self-efficacy in managing their condition.
This study is designed as a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of a structured educational program on improving clinical and behavioral outcomes among adults with diabetic foot. The study will be conducted at selected healthcare settings, and eligible participants will be randomly allocated into either an intervention group or a control group using a predefined randomization method.
The intervention group will receive a structured educational program delivered through planned teaching sessions. The program is based on evidence-based diabetic foot care guidelines and includes theoretical and practical components. Topics covered include diabetic foot anatomy and risk factors, daily foot inspection techniques, proper hygiene practices, nail and skin care, appropriate footwear selection, wound prevention strategies, glycemic control, and early recognition of complications. Educational materials such as brochures, demonstrations, and interactive discussions will be used to enhance understanding and adherence.
The control group will receive routine care and standard education provided by the healthcare facility without additional structured intervention.
Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention. The primary outcomes include:
Pain intensity measured using a validated pain scale Self-efficacy assessed through a standardized self-efficacy instrument Foot self-care behaviors measured using a diabetic foot care behavior scale Health-related quality of life assessed using a validated quality of life questionnaire
Data will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the structured educational program in improving these outcomes compared to routine care.
The study is expected to provide evidence supporting the integration of structured educational programs into nursing practice to improve self-management, reduce complications, and enhance quality of life among patients with diabetic foot.

Change in foot self-care behaviors measured using the Diabetic Foot Self-Care Questionnaire (DFSQ-UMA-En).
The instrument is a validated 16-item self-report questionnaire developed to assess self-care behaviors among patients with diabetes.
It includes three domains: foot self-care, self-examination, and footwear/sock management.
Items are rated on a Likert scale, and higher scores indicate poorer foot self-care behaviors.

Change in health-related quality of life measured using the EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire.
The EQ-5D-5L includes five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, each rated on a 5-level scale ranging from no problems to extreme problems.
The EQ-5D index score typically ranges from values below 0 (worse than death) to 1 (full health), where higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.
Additionally, overall health status is assessed using the EQ Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS), ranging from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).
