Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• their self-efficacy

  Diabetic Foot Care Self-efficacy Scale is a scale that determines a diabetic individual's perception of self-efficacy with respect to executing diabetic foot care activities. Responses to this nine-item 10-point Likert-type of questionnaire are assessed on a visual scale that ranges from "I'm absolutely unsure=0" to "I'm very sure=10". The lowest possible score on the scale is 0; the highest is 100.

  change from baseline self efficiancy at week 4.

• Diabetes Foot Knowledge

  Diabetes Foot Knowledge Questionnaire (DFKQ) were developed by Garcia et al. as a 5-item instrument that assesses the level of knowledge patients have about foot care. The questionnaire is evaluated on the basis of the total score. An increase in the score indicates that the diabetic individual has an increased level of knowledge about foot care

  change from baseline Diabetes Foot Knowledge at week 4.

It is a 16-item 5-point Likert-type of scale in which responses are assessed as "I do this: 1=Never, 2=Occasionally, 3=Sometimes, 4=Frequently, 5=Always." The lowest possible score on the scale is 16; the highest is 80

  change from baseline Foot Self-care Behavior at week 4.
