Education program to prevent diabetic foot ulcer in patient with diabetes: A scoping review.

Program-based education has emerged as a crucial strategy in preventing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and related complications. This scoping review aims to assess the program-based education interventions in preventing DFUs in patients with diabetes. A comprehensive search was conducted across major electronic databases, including PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and CINAHL. The primary outcome measure was foot self-care behaviors, while secondary outcomes included foot-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality of life. The studies encompassed diverse educational programs, such as structured foot care education, and multidisciplinary interventions. In total, 135 articles regarding Program-based education to prevent Diabetic Foot Ulcer on patient with diabetes were found in the literature. However, 18 articles that met the study criteria were reviewed. The results highlight the effectiveness of combining education with follow-up sessions to enhance self-care behavior, self-efficacy, knowledge, self-management, and quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).
