Individualized education can improve foot care for patients with diabetes

Sheila Neder et al. Home Healthc Nurse. 2003 Dec.

Abstract

Providing individualized education to home care patients with diabetes can significantly improve their foot care practices. A nurse researcher from the Intercollegiate College of Nursing at Washington State University conducted a study of 40 home healthcare patients with Type 2 diabetes and found that an individualized educational intervention led to improved foot care knowledge, self-care practices, and confidence performing foot related self-care.
