Purpose: Diabetic foot wound (DAY), one of the complications of diabetes, is a preventable picture that results in joint loss and even death. With the training given to diabetic patients, the DAY development rate can be reduced by 50%. In the study, we aimed at measuring the level of knowledge about the foot care of diabetic patients and the proper application skills of informed patients. We also intended to investigate the importance of education in the development of diabetic foot wounds by incorporating advanced patients into the study. Tools and Methods: Diabetic patients who received diabetes training in the family medicine clinic and followed due to DAY in the general surgical clinic were evaluated. The patients were surveyed with questions that measured the level of knowledge about DAY and the level of correct application. The day was compared with advanced and undeveloped patients. The findings: in patients with low levels of education, smoking, diabetes for more than 10 years, without regular checking, blood sugar regulation, non-day diet, non-diabetic training, the rate of development of DAY was statistically significantly high. The answers and daily practices of advanced patients to the data level measurement survey were statistically significantly incorrect compared to other patients. Result: Patients do not have sufficient level of knowledge about diabetic foot care. Diabetic foot training is also very low in the daily life of this information. This increases the risk of developing DAY alone in diabetic patients.
