Özet Amaç. Ayak komplikasyonları, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde Diabetes Mellitus (DM) hastalarında önde gelen mortalite nedenlerindendir. Diyabetik ayağın önlenmesinde, düzenli ayak bakımıetkili yöntemdir. Bu çalışmada, aile hekimliği polikliniklerine başvuran diyabetik hastaların, ayak bakımı uygulama konusundaki yeterliliklerini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem. Bu kesitsel çalışma, Şubat-Nisan 2012 döneminde Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Aile Hekimliği polikliniklerinde gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmaya katılan diyabetik hastalara, ayak bakımı davranışlarıyla ilgili yapılandırılmış anket formu uygulandı. Ayak bakımı açısından; 0-4 puan alanlar ‘yetersiz’, 5-8 puan alanlar ‘Orta’, 9-12 puan alanlar ise ‘İyi’ olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular. Çalışmaya katılan 200 diyabetik hastanın yaş ortalaması 61,5 (±11,3) yıldı. Hastaların ortalama ayak bakımı değerlendirme puanı 5,99 (±2,4) olarak bulundu. Evli olan hastaların ve daha önce herhangi bir sağlık kuruluşunda diyabetik ayak bakımı konusunda bilgilendirildiğini belirten hastaların ortalama puanları, daha yüksekti (p<0,05). Düşük öğrenim düzeyi, yetersiz ayak bakımı ile ilişkiliydi (p=0,000). Hastaların çoğunluğunun (%83) ayak bakımı ‘yetersiz’ veya ‘orta’ olarak’ değerlendirildi. Sonuç. Diyabetik hastalarının ayak bakımı yetersizdir. Diyabetik ayağın önlenebilmesi için, tüm hastalara, ayak bakımı konusunda eğitim verilmesi gerekmektedir.

Regular foot care is the most effective method to prevent diabetic foot. The aim of this study was to determine the practice of foot care among diabetes patients attending Family Medicine outpatient clinics. Methods. This is a cross-sectional study carried out from February to April 2012 in Family Medicine outpatient clinics of Dışkapı Yıldırım Beyazıt Training and Research Hospital. Structured questionnaires about foot care behavior were administered to diabetic patients. The practice scores were classified as ‘poor’ if score was 0-4, ‘avarage’ if score was 5-8 and good if score was 9-12. Results. The study involved 200 diabetic patients with a mean age 61.5 (±11.3) years. The mean foot care assessment score was 5.99 (±2.4). Married patients’ and patients’ who were previously informed about diabetic foot care in any health facility assessment scores, were higher (p <0.05). Low educational status was significantly associated with poor practice of foot care. Majority (83%) of patients were with ‘poor’ or ‘average’ practice of foot care. Conclusion. Diabetic patients’ foot care is inadequate. In order to prevent diabetic foot, training in foot care should be given to all patients. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, diabetic foot, patient-centered care
The purposes. Foot complications are one of the leading causes of mortality in developing countries with diabetes mellitus (DM). For the prevention of diabetes, regular foot care is an effective method. This study aims to identify the skills of diabetic patients who apply to family medical clinics in the practice of foot care. The Method. This cutting-edge study was conducted in the February-April 2012 period in the Outdoor Lightning Education and Research Hospital Family Medicine clinics. Diabetic patients involved in the study were applied a structured survey form on their foot care behavior. In terms of foot care, those with 0-4 points were "unsuitable", those with 5-8 points were "mediate" and those with 9-12 points were "good". The findings. The average age of 200 diabetic patients involved in the study was 61.5 (±11.3) years. The patient’s average foot care rating was 5.99 (±2.4). The average ratio of married patients and patients who said they were previously informed about diabetes foot care in any health institution was higher (p<0,05). Low level of learning was associated with insufficient foot care (p=0,000). The majority of patients (83 percent) were considered to be 'inadequate' or 'mediate'. The result. Patients with diabetes are inadequate. To prevent diabetic foot, all patients must be trained in foot care. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, diabetes foot, patient-centered care Abstract Aim.
