Abstract

Foot infections are a common chronic complication and a major reason for hospitalization in patients with diabetes. Performing foot examinations correctly and thoroughly may reduce diabetic foot risks and save patients from amputation and death. To assist professional nurses to learn the procedures and tools involved in foot examination, this study proposes that nurse trainers use creative thinking methods, such as those of Mandala, and mind mapping to conduct divergent thinking and analysis of training content define feasible training strategies. This study also proposes the use of rhymes and graphics such as creative mnemonics to help professional nurses expedite their learning of foot examination and preventive foot care techniques.
