Aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that can lead to serious complications, one of which is diabetic foot ulcers. Health education plays a crucial role in enhancing patients’ understanding of the prevention of such complications. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the supportive education system on knowledge of diabetic foot ulcer prevention among patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test control group was done on 160 patients with type 2 diabetes selected using purposive sampling. They were divided into an intervention group (n=80) and a control group (n=80). The intervention group received the supportive education system over four sessions, while the control group received conventional education. Knowledge levels were measured before and after the intervention using a standardized questionnaire.
Findings: There was a significant increase in knowledge levels in the intervention group compared to the control group (p<0.001), as assessed by the Mann-Whitney U test. These findings indicated that a support-based educational approach was more effective than conventional education in improving patients’ knowledge.
Conclusion: The supportive education system significantly enhances the level of knowledge regarding diabetic ulcer prevention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
