Summary
This study will test a virtual reality program called 'Health for My Feet' for people with type 2 diabetes. The program aims to teach foot care through VR goggles and includes weekly reminder messages. Researchers will compare foot care knowledge, self-care habits, and foot health between a group using VR and a group receiving standard care. The study plans to enroll 70 adults in Turkey and follow them for three months.
