Abstract
Objective: To analyze the preventive effect of specialized nurse health education on diabetic foot ulcers. Methods: From January 2022 to December 2022, 90 diabetic high-risk foot patients that were admitted to the Endocrinology Department of a general hospital in Macau that met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research subjects. The research subjects were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group, with 45 cases in each group by mechanical sampling method. The foot care knowledge of the patients one month and three months after the intervention were evaluated and analyzed. Results: The scores of foot care knowledge in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group at one month and three months after the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Health education by specialized nurses are essential in preventing and treating diabetic foot ulcers. Effective prevention and management of diabetic foot ulcers can be achieved through guidance on diet control, exercise, foot care, blood sugar monitoring, infection prevention, stress reduction, appropriate medication, and regular follow-up.
