Abstract

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize randomized controlled trials on the impact of foot care education on knowledge, self-efficacy and behavior in patients with diabetes. A search was made using PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Google Scholar, YOK National Thesis Center and Google Scholar electronic databases for studies published between March 2003-January 2022. The search medical subject headings (MeSH) terms were diabetic foot, knowledge, self-efficacy, and behavior. Studies suitable for the systematic review and the meta-analysis met the following criteria (PICOS): target participants would be diagnosed with diabetes (population), diabetic foot education (intervention), comparison of the group receiving diabetic foot care education and routine care education, and the control group receiving only routine care education (comparison), studies evaluating the levels of knowledge, self-efficacy and behavior (outcome), randomized controlled trials (study design). Twenty-six studies were included in systematic review. Three studies for knowledge, 5 studies for behavior, 8 studies for self-efficacy were included in the meta-analysis (total sample: 2534, experiment: 1464, control: 1071). All of the studies had low reporting bias. The mean duration of educations for knowledge was 5.2 months. This duration was 4.8 months for behavior and 4.5 months for self-efficacy. In the random effect (since the homogeneity test: P < .001, this model was used), there were significantly difference in terms of knowledge (standardized mean difference (SMD): 1.656, 95% [CI]: 1.014-2.299, P < .001), and behavior (SMD: 1.045, 95% CI: 0.849-1.242, P < .001). But no difference was observed in terms of self-efficacy (SMD: 0.557, 95%CI: −0.402-1.517, P > .05). The results of a systematic review of twenty-six studies and a meta-analysis of 9 studies showed that diabetic foot education improved the level of knowledge and behavior of patients with diabetes, while not affecting their self-efficacy. Educational interventions with long-term follow-up are needed to address the growing health care needs of patients with diabetes.
