Summary

This study tests whether a nurse-led foot care education program, based on the Health Belief Model, can improve foot care knowledge and behavior in diabetic patients undergoing hemodialysis. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to receive the training or standard care. The goal is to see if education can help prevent foot ulcers and amputations in this high-risk group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Diabetic foot care training using an educational booklet based on the Health Belief Model
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that a simple education program helps diabetic hemodialysis patients better care for their feet, potentially reducing ulcers and amputations.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures knowledge and behavior, not actual health outcomes like ulcer rates.
