Abstract

Background: We aimed to analyze levels of knowledge and behavior regarding diabetic foot care and prevention in persons with diabetes according to the International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) risk stratification system.

Methods: This descriptive study included 83 persons with diabetes at different risk levels for diabetic foot ulceration (DFU) (IWGDF risk 0-3). The previously validated Patient Interpretation of Neuropathy questionnaire was used to analyze their levels of understanding of foot complications. Participants responded using a 5-point Likert scale.

Results: Patients with IWGDF risk 3 knew that good circulation and absence of polyneuropathy in their feet were related to healthy feet relative to the other groups. In addition, they knew that a DFU is not painful relative to the other groups. High-risk patients knew which physical causes could affect the development of a DFU and that foot self-care and medical control could prevent DFU.

Conclusions: Patients with IWGDF risk 3 knew the natural progression of diabetic foot complications and how to prevent them. Clinicians should focus their efforts on educating patients with diabetes who are at lower risk for DFU.

根据国际工作组指南，不同足部溃疡风险人群对糖尿病足的疾病知识和行为。

背景：本文旨在根据国际工作组（IWGDF）的风险分层系统分析糖尿病患者对糖尿病足护理和预防的知识水平和行为：本文旨在根据国际工作组（IWGDF）的风险分层系统，分析糖尿病患者对糖尿病足护理和预防的知识水平和行为：方法：对83名处于不同足部溃疡风险水平（IWGDF风险0-3）的糖尿病患者进行描述性研究。研究使用了一份之前经过验证的问卷，即 PIN 问卷，来分析他们对足部并发症的了解程度。结果显示：IWGDF-3风险患者对足部并发症的了解程度高于IWGDF-4风险患者：结果：与其他组别相比，IWGDF-3 高危患者知道足部血液循环良好和没有多发性神经病与足部健康有关（19.6 ± 2.7，p）：IWGDF-3患者了解糖尿病足并发症的自然发展过程以及如何预防并发症。临床医生应集中精力，教育糖尿病患者降低足部溃疡的风险。
