Abstract

Background :  Diabetes is a chronic disease often accompanied by life-threatening complications, such as diabetic foot ulcers and lower limb amputations. Low self-efficacy in foot care is a major factor contributing to the development of diabetic foot complications. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between foot care self-efficacy and ulcer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.  Methods :  This study employed an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 112 respondents were recruited using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Foot Care Confidence Scale questionnaire and the Inlow’s 60-Second Diabetic Foot Screen Tool observation sheet. Data were analyzed using the Spearman test. Results:   The results showed that the mean score of foot care self-efficacy was 37.96 (SD = 8.24), while the mean ulcer risk score was 6.32 (SD = 2.88). There was a strong negative correlation between foot care self-efficacy and ulcer risk (p < 0.001; r= −0.773). Conclusions: Higher foot care self-efficacy was associated with a lower risk of ulcers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Assessment of ulcer risk and interventions to improve foot care self-efficacy are essential to reduce the prevalence of ulcer risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
