Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic footcare programme is essential for type II Diabetes Mellitus patients to improve quality of life as well as to prevent diabetic foot complication. The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of diabetic footcare programme towards quality of life among type II Diabetes Mellitus patients in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC), a tertiary centre. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental one group pre-test and post-test design, done in the orthopedic ward and out-patient medical clinic for a period of 1 year . The participants received a structured footcare education titled as “Diabetes Footcare” and a pamphlet of footcare. The Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) and Diabetes Quality of Life (DQoL) Brief Clinical Inventory were used to assess the outcomes before and one month after the programme. Data was analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS version 23. Results: A total of 37 participants was involved. Total score of foot care was im- proved between pre-test (M = 1.32, SD = .474) and post-test and (M = 1.94, SD = 0.229). There were four subscales in quality of life; satisfaction with treatment, impact of treatment, worry about future and social/vocational worry. The result showed there was a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test of foot care (M = 1.94, SD = 0.229, p<0.001) and quality of life (M = 61.94, SD = 5.264, p<0.001). However, foot care was not associated with quality of life. Conclusion: The diabetic footcare programme improves the footcare behaviour and quality of life of type II DM patients.
