Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Diabetic foot is one of the major complications in diabetes patients, affecting around 10-15% of the patients at some point of time in their lives and accounting for nearly 50% hospital admissions among diabetics. Diabetic foot complications cause huge economical burden to the society. The only way to cut short this problem is patient education, regular foot care, early detection of contributing factors, tight blood sugar control and selection of proper foot wear. This study was undertaken to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme in improving knowledge on foot care among patients with diabetes mellitus at Sree Mookambika Medical College Hospital Kulasekharam. An extensive review of literature was done which helped the investigator to identify and analyze the existing information regarding the problem under study and to practice it effectively. The conceptual framework adopted for the study was J. W. Kennys open system model. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY: To determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme in improving knowledge on foot care among patients with diabetes mellitus in experimental group and control group. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in Sree Mookambika Medical College Hospital Kulasekharam, Kanyakumary District. Two group pretest post test design was adopted and the purposive sampling technique was followed to obtain 60 samples. Among them 30 were allotted to experimental group and 30 in control group. Data were collected by using Knowledge Assessing Questionnaire. Pretest was administered on the first day for the both groups followed by structured teaching programme on foot care about 30 minutes and booklet on foot care was provided to the samples in experimental group. Structured Teaching Programme was not given to control group. Post test was done on the seventh day for both groups using the same pretest Knowledge Assessing Questionnaire. STUDY FINDINGS: The data collected were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The post test mean score of the experimental group on seventh day (22.7) was much higher than that of the control group on day seven (14.63) (t=17.43, p<0.05). Thus the structured teaching programme on foot care was found to be effective. CONCLUSION: The structured teaching programme on foot care found to be effective in improving knowledge level of patients regarding foot care. Similar studies can be conducted in large sample so that it could be generalized.
