With nursing follow-up, the effect of risk factors on amputation development and the need for amputation will be evaluated. Methods: The study included 72 diabetic patients who underwent amputations. Patients were followed up for six months in sociodemographic, diabetic, metabolic, skin, neurological, infection, vascular direction. Patients follow-ups were performed by the researchers with literature and form prepared with expert opinions and related factors between risk factors and recurrent amputation were examined. Results: At the end of the study, diabetic (glucose monitoring, adaptation to treatment and nutrition), metabolic (diabetic neuropathy, hypertension, foot wound, hbA1c), skin (new ulcer formation, damask, crack-nascer), vascular (femoral-popliteal-dorsalispedis pulses, iskemia, edema), neurological (pain and paresthesia), signs of infection (dissequine, redness, erythema, bad odor, abscess, heat increase, osteomyelitis, drainage and fever), statistical difference was observed between wound stages and amputation development according to wagner classation system. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was seen that the risk of recurrent amputation decreased with follow-up and treatment of patients with diabetic amputation history.
