About this trial
Diabetes is a significant health problem affecting approximately half a billion people worldwide, reaching alarming levels. Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most common and serious complications of diabetes. Diabetes is the most common cause of end-stage renal failure, and diabetic nephropathy is identified as a major risk factor for foot ulcers and amputation. The health belief model is a model that explains behavior. Focusing on the necessary motivational resources for the development of positive health behaviors in individuals is crucial for positive patient outcomes in the education of diabetic hemodialysis patients. It is necessary for hemodialysis nurses to educate diabetic patients on foot care knowledge, improve foot care behaviors, and prevent the development of foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations. However, the lack of studies in the literature on nurse-led foot care education interventions based on the health belief model for diabetic patients undergoing hemodialysis constitutes the strength and unique aspect of this study. The research will be conducted using a randomized controlled pretest-posttest design.

Diabetic Foot Care Training
Other interventionThe training will be conducted using an educational booklet prepared in accordance with the Health Belief Model. After collecting pre-test data, the training will be given to the experimental group for 2 weeks, and in order to ensure behavioral change in 4 weeks, reminders about foot care will be given to patients in dialysis centers or by phone, and then the final test data will be applied to both the experimental and control groups. During this process, the control group will continue to receive standard treatment and no intervention will be performed.
