Background: Foot ulcerations present significant problems for patients with diabetes. Consequences related both to diminished physical functioning and decreased social interaction may create socioeconomic hardships such as potential loss of income as well as increased pain, anxiety, and depression. Physiological factors associated with the progression of disease (i.e. poor diabetic control, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic neuropathy, restricted joint mobility) contribute to the development of these ulcerations and impact delayed healing. Without being able to effectively adopt healthy behaviors, people with limited diabetic management skills may develop worsening symptoms and health outcomes with a resultant higher burden and cost on the healthcare system (Berkman et al., 2004). Purpose: The purpose of this project was to examine the self-management skills of patients with diabetes who have a preexisting ulceration, and to determine the impact of a high intensity, nurse-administered foot care intervention bundle (NA-FCIB) upon self-management knowledge, skills and outcomes for diabetic patients with existing foot ulcerations. Design: Utilizing the Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence-Based Practice Model (JHN-EBP), this project was conducted at a dedicated wound care clinic over a 3 month period. The sample consisted of 39 patients with diabetic foot ulcerations. The NA-FCIB was administered at each office visit and as part of periodic phone calls for patients whose clinic visits were more than 1 month apart. Baseline measures of foot care knowledge and reported self-care practices were recorded prior to, at 6 weeks and 12 weeks, after the start of NA-FCIB implementation. Ulcerations were measured at each visit and HgbA1C levels were measured at pretest and 12 week posttest. Search of literature/best evidence: An extensive search of the literature was conducted to identify relevant evidence. Multiple, overlapping databases were searched, specifically PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL, as well as Google Scholar. Evidence, based on JHN-EBP criteria and multiple high level randomized controlled studies, was reviewed regarding interventions to promote diabetic patient self- management to prevent the development of foot ulcerations. The review supported the potential value of enhancing foot care practices with a bundled approach. Clinical appraisal: Relevant evidence provided support for the implementation of nursing interventions to promote patient self-management of diabetes, and engaging patients with diabetes with periodic foot examination, institution of basic foot hygiene procedures, implementation of measures to protect feet from injury and infection, seeking prompt clinical care in the event of injury, and tight glycemic control. The apparent simplicity of interventions such as daily foot inspection, use of clean socks, etc. may have contributed to the lack of research regarding their individual efficacy. The literature was congruent with the development and testing of a bundle of foot care interventions that reflect the available evidence, have minimal risk, and whose individual interventions represent standard of care. Standardizing and formalizing care of this select population was a concern though, with individual providers and individual nurses often approaching diabetic interventions from different viewpoints. Prior studies have indicated a relationship between higher intensity interventions for patients with diabetes, and better quality outcomes with improved self-care management. Integration into practice: Utilizing evidence based practice initiatives, the NA- FCIB was established to promote improved self management skills in patients with diabetes, with existing foot ulcerations. Patient education materials were developed to help teach and guide in prevention of further ulceration and in optimal care of the diabetic foot. Staff guidelines for support in teaching were formalized Results and evaluation of evidenced based practice: The formative evaluation indicated that the NA-FCIB was feasible to implement with no major barriers identified. The NAFCIB was associated with significantly improved foot care related-knowledge and skills. Over the intervention period, there were also significant decreases in HBA1C and ulcer size and stage which also reflects tighter pharmacologic controls by the clinicians and the specific wound treatment protocols as well as the self-management approaches addressed in the NA-FCIB. Conclusion: The NA-FCIB was effective in improving diabetic self-management practices of individual patients. It was feasible to implement at the level of the individual clinic and will be incorporated into routine clinic care. Further, the parent institution is examining ways in which the project may be extended to other areas of the institution, and has identified the EBP project as an exemplar for other projects and initiatives. The NA-FCIB also has potential value for wound care clinics where diabetic foot ulcerations are treated. Thus the NA-FCIB and the implementation processes associated with this EBP project have larger potential benefit at the level of individual patients and health care systems.
