Abstract

Objectives: Assess knowledge, attitude and practice on prevention of ulcer foot complications among diabetic patients at 108 Military Central Hospital.
Subject and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 115 diabetic patients in 108 Military Central Hospitals from January 2023 to May 2023.
Results: The mean age was 58.0 ± 13.3 years old. Knowledge classification: Good was 34.7%, average was 27.8%, poor was 34.8%. Attitude classification: positive was 39.1%, negative was 60.9%. Classification of practice: Good was 44.3%, average was 24.3%, poor was 31.4%. The group < 50 years old had a higher average knowledge and practice score than the group ≥ 50 years old (p < 0.05). The group living in urban areas and the group with intermediate/university/post-graduated levels had higher knowledge scores than the group living in rural areas and with high school (p < 0.05). There is a positive correlation between knowledge and practice (r = 0.759; p = 0.002).
Conclusion: People with diabetes have limited knowledge, attitudes, and practices about ulcer foot complication prevention. Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness and promote health education for patients to see the importance and dangers of foot ulcers, minimize the need for amputation, and reduce mortality rates.
