DiaFootCare to Promote Self-Care of Diabetic Foot Ulcers in Oman (DiaFootCare)

29. oktober 2026 oppdatert av: Raqiya Mohammed Al-Mamari, Oman Ministry of Health

This study aims to evaluate DiaFootCare, a mobile health application designed to support self-care and monitoring among adults with diabetic foot ulcers. The application provides educational and self-care support, medication and care reminders, wound monitoring using standardized foot photographs, and communication of relevant information to support pharmacist-led monitoring.

The study will evaluate the usability and effectiveness of DiaFootCare among patients with diabetic foot ulcers receiving care at the National Diabetes and Endocrine Centre in Oman. Participants using DiaFootCare will be compared with participants receiving usual care. The study will assess outcomes related to diabetic foot self-care, medication adherence, glycemic control, wound healing, and participants' use of and engagement with the application.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Eksperimentell: DiaFootCare Intervention

Participants assigned to this arm will receive usual diabetic foot care plus access to the DiaFootCare mobile application for three months. The application provides diabetic foot self-care education, medication and self-care reminders, guided wound-image capture, wound monitoring and progress visualization, and pharmacist-led monitoring and support.

Participants will use the DiaFootCare mobile application for three months in addition to usual diabetic foot care. The application provides diabetic foot self-care education, medication and self-care reminders, guided wound-image capture, wound monitoring and progress visualization, and pharmacist-led monitoring and support.

Participants will receive routine diabetic foot ulcer care according to usual clinical practice. They will not receive access to the DiaFootCare mobile application during the three-month study period.

Aktiv komparator: Usual Care Control

Participants assigned to this arm will receive the usual diabetic foot care provided without access to the DiaFootCare mobile application during the three-month study period.

Participants will receive routine diabetic foot ulcer care according to usual clinical practice. They will not receive access to the DiaFootCare mobile application during the three-month study period.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Complete Wound Closure (100% Epithelialization):
Tidsramme: Baseline and 3 months

The primary effectiveness outcome is complete wound closure-defined as 100% epithelialization of the wound surface with no measurable length, width, or depth-assessed by a podiatrist masked to group allocation at Week 12 (12 weeks from baseline).

Baseline and 3 months
Wound dimensions (length, width, area)
Tidsramme: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12

Wound dimensions-comprising length, width, and area-constitute the Primary Effectiveness Outcome in the DiaFootCare RCT

Tiltaksbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Glycemic Control Measures
Tidsramme: 3 MONTHS

HbA1c levels, extracted from existing medical records, where routinely available to avoid an additional dedicated blood draw. The laboratory method and/or assay used for measuring HbA1c will be recorded to assure consistency. Where possible, measurements taken by the same lab are used

3 MONTHS
Change in Foot Care Confidence (Foot Care Confidence Scale)
Tidsramme: 3 months

Foot care self-efficacy was assessed using the Foot Care Confidence Scale (FCCS), a 12-item instrument translated via forward-backward translation and cognitive debriefing for the Omani population. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Total scores range from a minimum of 12 to a maximum of 60, with higher scores indicating greater confidence in performing foot self-care.

3 months
Change in Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy (Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale)
Tidsramme: 3 months

Self-efficacy in diabetes management was assessed using the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES), a 20-item instrument translated via forward-backward translation and cognitive debriefing for the Omani population. Each item is rated on a 1-5 numerical scale reflecting the respondent's level of efficacy expectation. Total scores range from a minimum of 20 to a maximum of 100, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy in diabetes management.
