Diabetic foot self-care warrants national attention because patients with diabetes are highly susceptible to foot problems that result from disease complications, such as nerve damage and poor circulation. This project explored diabetic foot self-care beliefs, and how those beliefs may influence foot self-care practice, among Mexican American adults with diabetes living in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). The research questions examined the beliefs about diabetic foot self-care among Mexican American adults with type 2 diabetes living in the RGV, as well as the ways in which those beliefs influence their self-described foot self-care practices. A generic, qualitative research design was used. Data were collected through 2 focus groups, and data analysis used open and axial coding. The Health Belief Model was the conceptual framework that guided the project. The findings demonstrated that being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes was considered overwhelming. As a result, some participants paid little or no attention to what diabetic foot ulcers were or their associated complications. The use of open-toed sandals or buying shoes a size larger and wider was believed to prevent infection and increase the ability to check their feet. As a result, some of the behaviors participants considered beneficial for preventing diabetic foot ulcers potentially increase the risk of ulceration. Knowledge deficit posed as a barrier to diabetic foot self-care. Therefore, it remains essential for healthcare providers to investigate and address the beliefs that underlie diabetic patients' practices in order to communicate culturally-sensitive foot self-care practices.
