Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nurses from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. Its objectives are to promote the dissemination of knowledge, promote the development of evidence in care and contribute to the integration of research in clinical practice. These objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Reviews, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes two kinds of articles: comments about original articles of special interest written by experts, and evidence synthesis articles based on bibliographic reviews.

The journal is included in National Library of Medicine/Pubmed/Medline, Scopus/SCImago Journal Rank(SJR), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (Clarivate Analytics), CINHAL, Elsevier Bibliographic Databases, EBSCO Publishing, Biblioteca Nacional de Ciencias de la Salud, CSIC/IME, IBECS, Latindex, CUIDEN, Dialnet, Google Scholar Metrics.

Abstract

Objective

The research aimed to investigate differences in foot care practice between participants at risk for and with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).

Methods

The study design was quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 150 participants included in this study. Participants at risks for DFUs were measured using the 10g Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments for detecting neuropathy and the Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) Doppler for diabetic angiopathy. Data analyzed using chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests.

Results

There were significant differences in foot care between the risk for DFUs and DFUs groups, especially for foot washing, footwear inspection, and footwear usage domains (p<0.01). Those in the risk for DFUs group were more frequent and better in conducting foot care than those in the DFUs group.

Conclusions

Performing routine foot care practices among people diagnosed with diabetes are essential for preventing the development and infection of DFUs.
