Özet
Objective: To determine the effect of education and monitoring on developing foot care in elderly with diabetes. Methods: This study was a controlled experimental research. The study was performed with 45 elderly with diabetes in the control group and 45 in the intervention group who met inclusion criteria for the study. The participants were registered in one center and in a public hospital between the dates of September 2012-September 2013. Training and follow-up on foot care were carried out for the intervention group by performing four-foot examinations in both groups. Results: Diabetic foot information and foot care behavior scores showed significantly greater increases in the intervention group compared to controls. A significant difference in total foot examination score was determined between groups and in time (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results have shown that education and monitoring were effective in developing foot care in participants.
