Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Diabetic foot is a complication that develops difficult-to-heal foot wounds, reduces the quality of life of individuals with diabetes, causes loss of productivity, and causes economic burden due to the repetition of the problem and the expenditures made for treatment. Diabetic foot is the most common complication requiring hospitalization and is the most common cause of non-traumatic amputations. However, this complication can be prevented with regular foot examinations, patient education and daily foot care. For this reason, diabetic foot education should be given to all diabetic patients and they should be encouraged to participate in their self-care. However, educating patients once does not provide enough knowledge to manage diabetes throughout life. As the rate of individuals using web-based information increases, it is possible to reach large masses. With web-based training, information obtained from current sources is presented to patients on a single web page, patients can access training regardless of place or time, and continuity in training is ensured. The aim of this randomized controlled experimental study is to determine the effect of web-based and face-to-face education based on the health promotion model on diabetic foot knowledge and foot care behavior in individuals with diabetes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The research will be conducted with individuals with type 2 diabetes who volunteered to participate in the study. As data collection tools, Patient Descriptive Information Form, Diabetic Foot Information Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be used. As a pre-test, data will be collected from all patients at the first interview. Then, web-based training based on the health promotion model will be applied to the individuals in the experimental group 1 and face-to-face training will be applied to the individuals in the experimental group 2. The individuals in the control group will be given routine training applied in the hospital. Reminder messages about foot care will be sent to the patients once a week. After the first application, data from all individuals in experiment group 1, experiment group 2 and control group will be collected again and analyzed in the 1st and 3rd months, and the research will be completed. Power analysis was performed using the G\*Power (v3.1.9.2) program to determine the number of samples. The power of the study is expressed as 1-β (β = probability of type II error), and in general, studies must have 80% power. The number of samples was determined as 135 in total, 45 people in each group.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

It is a prospective intervention type three-group randomized controlled clinical study. Distribution according to the groups and layers to be assigned for each intervention; Group-1 (Experiment) was designed as web-based diabetic foot training, Group-2 (Experiment) was designed s face-to-face diabetic foot training, and Group-3 (Control) was designed as clinical routine training.

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors

Due to diabetic foot training was applied as an intervention, patients and the researcher will not be considered blind. The evaluator will be considered blind in the analysis of the study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group-1 (Web-based diabetic foot education applied group)

1. In the first interview, individuals in the web training group who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the research; Within the scope of the pre-test, the Patient Information Form, Diabetic Foot Information Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be administered by the researcher in the diabetes education unit of the hospital.
2. After the pre-test, a username and password will be defined for individuals in the web training group so that they can log in to the diabetic foot web training page.
3. Patients will be trained on how to access the diabetic foot web training page, how to access information, and how to use videos.
4. After the first application, in the first and third months, patients will be invited to the diabetes education unit and the Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be re-administered by the researcher through face-to-face interviews.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Web-based diabetic foot education based on health promotion model

Intervention Type OTHER

The first group can access the training at any time and repeat the training thanks to web-based training.

Group-2 (Face to face diabetic foot education applied group)

1. In the first meeting for individuals in the face-to-face education group; Within the scope of the pre-test, the Patient Information Form, Diabetic Foot Information Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be administered by the researcher in the diabetes education unit of the hospital.
2. After the pre-test, face-to-face diabetic foot training will be given in accordance with the training booklet for approximately 45 minutes.
3. After the first application, in the first and third months, patients will be invited to the diabetes education unit and the Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be re-administered by the researcher through face-to-face interviews.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Face to face diabetic foot education based on health promotion model

Intervention Type OTHER

Individuals with Type 2 diabetes in the face-to-face training group will receive face-to-face diabetic foot training in line with the training booklet for approximately 45 minutes, one by one.

Group-3 Clinical routine education applied group (control)

1\. In the first interview, individuals in the control group who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the research; Within the scope of the pre-test, the Patient Information Form, Foot Care Behavior Checklist, Diabetic Foot Knowledge Scale, Foot Care Behavior Scale and Diabetic Foot Care Self-Efficacy Scale will be administered by the researcher in the diabetes education unit of the hospital. 2. After the pre-test, individuals in the control group will receive routine training given by the training nurse on duty in the diabetes education unit.
