ABSTRACT
Introduction: The Prevalence of Diabetes Foot Ulcers (DFU) in Indonesia is
increasing every year. Summary Guidance for Daily Practice (SGFDP) is a media
used to discuss and share knowledge to prevent foot ulcer in patients with Type
2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The aim was to know the influence of applying
SGFDP on glycemic control (fasting blood glucose levels) and foot care behavior.
Methods: The study was quasi-experimental utilizing a pretest-post-test with a
control group design. The sample obtained was 232 respondents through
consecutive sampling. The variables were SGFDP, glycemic control, and foot care
behavior. The intervention was conducted for three weeks meeting. The data
collected using observation sheets and the Nottingham Assessment of Functional
Footcare (NAFF) questionnaire. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon
and Mann-Whitney tests.
Results: Most of respondents were elderly aged 41-50 years old. Respondents
showed significant progressed of foot care behavior on before and after
treatment. The results showed a significant influence from SGFDP on foot care
behavior (p=0.001).
Conclusion: The application of SGFDP as an approach to prevent foot ulcers
among adults T2DM was significantly affected. It was conducted by discussing
and sharing knowledge and utilizing a foot ulcer prevention simulation with foot
exercises. Sharing information and the attention given by the nurses in the form
of regular meetings can increase patient knowledge and induce behavior changes
among adult T2DM.
