A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge of Foot Care among Diabetic Patients at Selected Community Health Center in Bhopal M.P

Background Wounds may be caused in a variety of ways. Some wounds are difficult to heal, such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers. We conducted a health technology assessment of skin substitutes for adults with neuropathic diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers, which included an evaluation of effectiveness, safety, cost effectiveness, the budget impact of publicly funding skin substitutes, and patient preferences and values. Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge of foot care among diabetic patients. Methods This study made use of an evaluative approach with a one group pre test post test design. The sample for the study sample comprised of 30 Diabetic Patient. Following the pre test, Planned teaching programme was administered and post test conducted 10 days after the administration of Planned teaching programme. Result Reveals that most of them 80 of the diabetic patients had good knowledge and 16.7 of them had average knowledge on prevention of diabetic foot care, only 3.3 of the subjects had poor knowledge regarding prevention of diabetic foot care in the post test. It shows that Information Booklet was highly effective regarding knowledge on foot care. The mean post test knowledge score 22.5 was higher than the mean pre test knowledge score 13.6 . The computed ”˜t' value t29=15.12 was higher than the table value t29=2.05 at 0.05 level of significance. Hence the research hypothesis H1 is accepted and it was inferred that the mean difference between pre and post test knowledge score was statistically significant. Conclusion The study concluded that Information Booklet was highly effective regarding knowledge on foot care.
