Key result
Self-management training improved patient knowledge, with over two-thirds of patients achieving a satisfactory level of knowledge about diabetic foot management post-training.
Why the study?
Diabetic foot can lead to significant morbidity and mortality, making it critical to evaluate the effect of self-management training on knowledge and glycemic control.

Self-management training may improve knowledge and glycemic control in diabetic foot; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does self-management training improve knowledge and glycemic control in patients with diabetic foot?
Self-management training significantly improves knowledge and self-management skills in patients with diabetic foot.
Abd-ellah et al. (2021) studied diabetic foot (n=60). self-management training vs. baseline (pre-test) was evaluated on knowledge and glycemic control. Self-management training improved patient knowledge, with over two-thirds of patients achieving a satisfactory level of knowledge about diabetic foot management post-training.
