Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM II) is known to lead to serious long term complications in patients with poorly controlled blood glucose, poorly managed symptoms, and unchanged life styles. Patient education and subsequent modifications of their behavior are the keys to preventing or at least delaying, these complications and improving the quality of patients' lives. In the past, nurses and other medical professionals have been approaching patient education with different methods, settings, and formats. These have been met with varied degrees of success. This project sought to investigate whether a Digital Video Disc (DVD) from Family Health Media, focused on diabetic foot care, would prove to be more accessible to patients, bringing forth better retention of information regarding foot care and examination skills than written materials or individual teaching in family practice settings. This thesis set out to examine if the use of Audio visual patient education would improve patients' skills regarding self examination of feet (diabetic foot care) to reduce the risks of diabetic foot ulcers. The DVD finding revealed, when combined with written materials, had a more positive impact on retention regarding recognition of the signs of infection and behavioral changes which positively affecting foot care as compared to written materials alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data collected from documented articles and studies in regards to education about diabetic foot ulcer prevention, the results of this research project showed that comprehensive education about prevention of foot ulceration is very important in diabetic patients with foot ulcers or who are at risk of getting foot ulcers. Comprehensive education comprises the significance of routine foot care and foot evaluation and importance of wearing well fitted shoes for the prevention of further problems and amputation of limb. It has also been verified that along with other interventions such as blood glucose management, information about diabetes and its consequences on patient's overall health is also important. It is also recommended that education and care should be individualized based on patient's level of knowledge and cultural and socioeconomic background for better compliance among patients. Handout material (Appendix A) should be given to the patients during hospitalization and before discharge and teaching should be provided both orally and in written form. For the success of educational program, outpatient classes, follow-up and foot care program should be started soon after discharge. It is also important to educate nurses and related health care staff about diabetes, and strategies for the treatment and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and regular foot care program so that they can play a major role to implement proper interventions in diabetic patients.
Download or read book Global Perspective on Diabetic Foot Ulcerations written by Thanh Dinh and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade, it is becoming increasingly clear that diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic. The influence of diabetes is most readily apparent in its manifestation in foot complications across cultures and continents. In this unique collaboration of global specialists, we examine the explosion of foot disease in locations that must quickly grapple with both mobilizing medical expertise and shaping public policy to best prevent and treat these serious complications. In other areas of the world where diabetic foot complications have unfortunately been all too common, diagnostic testing and advanced treatments have been developed in response. The bulk of this book is devoted to examining the newest developments in basic and clinical research on the diabetic foot. It is hoped that as our understanding of the pathophysiologic process expands, the devastating impact of diabetic foot complications can be minimized on a global scale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications have increased in the United States (U.S.) in recent years. Patients with diabetes have a higher risk of foot ulcers due to diabetic peripheral arterial disease accelerated by the direct damage to the nerve and blood vessels in lower extremities by high blood sugar. Foot amputations, and frequent hospital admissions due to these and other diabetes complications are also increasing. Healthcare providers' have a unique opportunity to prevent these complications and hospital admissions, and to promote patient wellness and physical well-being through the provision of timely education and direct screening of patients' feet. Salud Para La Gente (SPLG) Clinic is one of the main clinics in the Watsonville area that provides care to 27,000 patients with chronic diseases annually. The SPLG Clinic education for patients with diabetes focuses on diet and pharmacotherapy but lacks foot screening and foot care education to patients. The literature review (Woodbury et al., Sibbald, Ostrow, Persaud, & Lowe, 2015; McCulloch, 2018; Singh, 2015) clarifies that foot screening is an inexpensive preventative measurement and educating providers on the importance and use of the Simplified 60-Second Foot Screening Tool (shown in appendix 8) during a patient's visit reduces the rate of foot ulcers, re-ulcerations, and foot amputations. The evidence shows that when clinicians take a short period of time to assess patients' feet and educate patients on foot care during a visit, foot ulcers can be treated early or prevented entirely, and patients' motivations to engage in their self-care increases (Sharoni, Rahman, Minhat, Ghazali, & Ong, 2017). This DNP student-led quality improvement project involved an educational intervention for primary care providers. A pre-survey was done before giving the education on foot screening and care to measure the clinicians' level of knowledge. The survey also assessed the clinicians' performance of foot screening according to guidelines, strategies for helping diabetic patients on self-foot care, and barriers to foot screening. An educational presentation was given, and a post-survey was obtained. Increased level for knowledge, the difficulty of the education for providers and patients, likelihood of educating patients and passing on the brochure to a patient, the appropriateness of length, presentation quality, content level, and overall workshop quality were assessed in the post-survey. The result showed providers were eager to use the evidence-based screening tool, and clinicians' knowledge of foot care increased dramatically. They were excited to educate patients on foot care and foot log which is a diabetes self-management log and help patients to keep track of their foot care daily. Appropriate educational approaches for patients with type 2 diabetes on foot care and providers on the Simplified 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screening Tool improve patients' outcomes, promote patients' quality of life in mental and physical aspects, and increase patients' diabetes-management ability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the resulted studies and research projects, it is proved that comprehensive education and teaching about diabetes, foot ulcers and diabetes related health problems is primary method to prevent foot ulcers in diabetic and patients with high risk of developing foot ulcers. By providing teaching and education about routine foot care, regular follow up, and wearing proper fitting shoes can prevent foot ulcer and limb amputation. To teach about the glycemic control and diabetes related effects on overall health is also very important. It is very important to promote compliance with treatment; the teaching must be based on their socioeconomic status, level of education, understanding and interest. It is recommended that providing Verbal and written information to patients and care giver in a handout (Appendix A) will be effective. Teaching must be included with follow up care with podiatrist, endocrinologist, community based foot care programs and other classes to control diabetes. Also the health care providers, nurses and physicians should be trained about patient care with diabetic foot ulcer, diabetes related complications and health issues, so they can provide good care and proper teachings to patients with diabetic foot ulcers for good patient outcome.

Download or read book Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers written by Zoltan Pataky and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diabetic foot disease is one of the most invalidating long-term complications of diabetes. Given the dramatically increasing prevalence of types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus worldwide, the medical community must be prepared for the number of diabetic foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations that will follow this "epidemic" of diabetes. In recent years, the standards of diabetic foot care have improved considerably. However, despite the availability of new treatments, techniques, and advances in the medical and surgical care of people with diabetic foot disease, the incidence of lower extremity amputation in this population is still extremely high. A widening gap exists between our knowledge in the field and the daily experience and outcomes of patients in diabetic foot care centers. The good news is that it is possible to reduce amputation rates by up to 85%. The remaining question is "How do we do it?" This work summarizes the considerable effort made in the field of diabetic foot disease. Special emphasis is given to approaches dealing with the issue of the loss of protective pain sensations and its consequences, in terms of the development of at-risk zones under the foot.
