Tóm tắt
Background: Foot ulcers are a serious complication among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, while foot self-care practices in primary healthcare settings remain suboptimal. In addition, factors associated with foot self-care behaviors have not yet been fully elucidated.
Objectives: To identify factors associated with foot self-care behaviors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving outpatient care at Son Tra Regional Medical Center.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among 248 outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving treatment at Son Tra Regional Medical Center from April to August 2024. Data were collected using the Diabetes Foot Knowledge Questionnaire (DFKQ), Diabetes Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale (DFCSES), Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), and Foot Self-Care Behavior Scale (DFSBS).
Results: The mean age of the 248 study participants was 63.92 ± 9.97 years. For routine daily foot self-care behaviors (DFSBS-1), significant independent associated factors included longer duration of diabetes (p = 0.031), higher body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.021), and higher self-efficacy (DFCSES, p < 0.001). For specific preventive behaviors (DFSBS-2), independent associated factors included better foot-care knowledge (DFKQ, p = 0.011), higher self-efficacy (DFCSES, p < 0.001), and routine daily foot self-care behaviors (DFSBS-1, p < 0.001). Overall self-management (DSMQ) was not independently significantly associated with either dimension of foot self-care behaviors (p = 0.284).
Conclusion: Health education and interventions to enhance self-efficacy should be strengthened to improve foot self-care behaviors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
