Brief Summary

Diabetes Mellitus (DM), insulin secretion, insulin action or this It is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia caused by a defect in both of these factors. It is an important public health problem that causes organ and function losses due to the complications it creates, negatively affects the life span and quality, and creates a social and economic burden.Diabetic foot, known as an important complication of DM, is an important problem in that it causes deterioration in the quality of life of the patient, frequent and long-term hospitalizations, serious increase in the cost of treatment, lower extremity amputations and increased mortality. As a result of the literature review, it was assumed that the level of knowledge about diabetic foot care could affect diabetic foot care behaviors, self-efficacy and possible diabetic foot complications. In addition to conventional information, a Web-based education based on a health belief model can create awareness in individuals and minimize the risk of diabetic foot ulceration or amputation. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of web-based diabetic foot care training prepared according to SIM on the knowledge levels, self-efficacy and care behaviors of individuals with diabetes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pre-Test Data Collection

  The pre-test data of the study will be searched by the researcher between June 2022 and July 2022 by obtaining the contact information of the individuals registered in the Van Tusba Family Health Center and included in the study. In the collection of data, the people in the experimental and control groups; Introductory Information Form, Foot Care Behavior Scale, Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale and Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale" will be applied.

  a month or two

• Collection of Post-Test Data

  Giving training to the experimental group for 6 weeks with an interval of 2 weeks. The three-month web-based training given by the researcher to the individuals in the experimental group will be completed. After the training is over, a three-month follow-up will be made and post-test data will be collected after 6 months in total. It is planned to collect the final test data in Van Tusba Family Health Center No. 1 between November 2022 and December 2022. In the collection of data, the people in the experimental and control groups; Foot Care Behavior Scale, Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale and Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale will be applied.
