The result revealed that the mean score of foot care behaviors, foot conditions, and blood sugar level were statistically different between baseline, pre-intervention and post-intervention (F(2, 52) = 258.13, F(1.49, 38.84) = 42.13, and χ2 = 29.96, respectively, p < .001). The mean score of foot care behaviors in post intervention was statistically higher than are at baseline and pre-intervention ( = 1.66 and 1.69 respectively, p < .001), the mean score of foot conditions in post intervention was statistically higher than are at baseline and pre-intervention (
= .28 and .22 respectively, p < .001) and the mean score of blood sugar level at post intervention was statistically decreased compared with the pre-intervention (Z = -4.05, p < .001 and Z = -2.41, p < .05) Our data suggested that nurses should to apply this SCPP in Muslim patients with similar context in the future.
