Diabetes is a common chronic disease, and its global incidence is on the rise. The disease is directly attributed to insufficient insulin efficacy/secretion, and patients are often accompanied by multiple complications. Diabetic foot is one of the most common complications of diabetes. Diabetic feet have ulcers and infections, which can eventually lead to amputation. Basic nursing care, such as lowering blood pressure and preventing foot skin infections in clinical nursing work, has positive significance for the prevention and control of diabetic feet.

To explore the positive significance of one-to-one education in high-risk cases of diabetic foot.

This observation included 98 high-risk cases of diabetic foot in our hospital during the period from August 2017 to October 2019, and these patients were randomly divided into the basic nursing group and the one-to-one education group with 49 patients per group. The basic nursing group only received routine basic nursing, while the one-to-one education group gave patients one-to-one education on the basis of basic nursing. After nursing, the self-care ability and compliance behavior of the two groups were evaluated and compared between these two groups. The knowledge mastery of the patient and the satisfaction of nursing were accounted.

The assessment results of patients (self-care responsibility, self-care skills, self-concept and self-care knowledge) were significantly higher in the one-to-one education group than in the basic nursing group. The scores of compliance behaviors (foot bathing, shoes and socks selection, sports health care) in the one-to-one education group were significantly higher than those in the basic nursing group. Patients in the one-to-one education group had a significantly higher level of knowledge mastery and satisfaction of nursing than the basic nursing group.

One-to-one education for high-risk cases of diabetic foot is helpful to improve the cognition and self-care ability of patients with diabetic foot, to ensure that patients follow the doctor’s advice of self-care and to improve their nursing satisfaction.
