INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant challenges in foot care management, often leading to severe complications if not properly addressed. Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (PND) is commonly associated with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and is a leading cause of hospital admissions and prolonged treatment durations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the usability and functionality of the Mobile Diabetic Foot Early Self-Assessment (MDFEET) application for the independence of foot care for DM patients in the South Denpasar Community Health Centre area.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with 60 DM patients, selected by simple random sampling. The instrument used consists of the DM patient observation sheet-based user view and the M-DFEET application. Categorical data were classified as frequency and percentage, while the numerical data were reported as mean and standard deviation (SD).
RESULTS: The evaluation results show that all 60 participants (100%) rated the functionality of the M-DFEET application as excellent in helping with foot care. Furthermore, most participants, 55 (91.7%), assessed the efficiency of the application as good. Regarding the usability, 58 participants (96.7%) considered it good, while the remaining participants deemed it adequate. These findings underscore the application's potential to optimize time and effort for its users effectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The feedback on the M-DFEET application is overwhelmingly positive, with all participants rating its functionality as very good for foot care. The application is likely to be well-received by users especially T2DM patients, and holds potential as an evaluative tool in foot care management.
