|---|---|---|
| Self-Care Tool for Diabetic Foot Prevention | 21 month | This tool consists of 26 items and 3 sub-dimensions, evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale. The sub-dimensions are based on Riegel et al.'s moderate self-care theory. These sub-dimensions are maintaining self-care, monitoring self-care, and managing self-care. The maintaining self-care sub-dimension (10 items) consists of recommendations from healthcare professionals regarding daily foot care and diabetes-related practices to prevent diabetic foot ulcers. The monitoring self-care sub-dimension (9 items) includes behaviors related to monitoring early and initial signs of foot injuries. The managing self-care sub-dimension (7 items) consists of recommendations for practices aimed at eliminating risk factors for foot health. |
