The Buddy Care Innovation, Assessment, Diabetic foot complicationsAbstract
Diabetic foot complications considerably affect quality of life for diabetes patients, resulting in disability and sometimes death. The Buddy Care innovation is a healthcare innovation which encourages diabetic foot screening with buddy assistance to monitor and provide notification for self-care to prevent diabetic foot complications. This quasi-experimental study aimed to compare the number of participants who correctly screened their diabetic foot complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in innovative buddy care groups. The findings were evaluated both before and after innovation utilization, including comparison between participants in buddy care groups and those who received standard treatment. The participants were chosen by purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria and consisted of 40 patients with type 2 diabetes divided into an experimental group of 20 people and a control group of 20 by sampling without replacement. The research tools were a general information questionnaire and an observation form for diabetic foot complication screening, with a content validity value of 1.0 and reliability value of 1.0. The data was analyzed using McNemar Test and the Chi-square Test.
The results revealed that after using the buddy care innovation, the number of participants who correctly assessed diabetic foot complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in the experimental group was higher than before using the buddy care innovation with statistical significance (p < 0.001), and higher than the group of participants who received standard treatment with statistical significance (p < 0.01).
The findings indicate that the buddy care innovation could be used to enhance diabetic foot complication screening, as well as to effectively prevent diabetic foot complications.
