Does Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) improve knowledge on the prevention of diabetic foot injuries in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Absolute Event Rate: 72.7% vs 18.2%
p-value: p=0.001
Diabetes Self-Management Education significantly improves knowledge regarding the prevention of diabetic foot injuries among patients with type 2 diabetes.
Fitria et al. (2023) studied Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=55). Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) vs. Baseline (pre-test) was evaluated on Knowledge of diabetic foot injury prevention (proportion with 'good' knowledge) (p=0.001). Diabetes Self-Management Education significantly increased the proportion of patients with good knowledge of diabetic foot injury prevention from 18.2% to 72.7% (p=0.001).
