Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) Regarding Diabetic Foot Care in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

The study revealed a high percentage of surveyed patients with good knowledge and a positive attitude towards diabetic foot care. However, significant gaps in diabetic education were evident, as a substantial proportion of patients had not received formal education on the subject. This highlights the need for educational programs aimed at improving both knowledge and attitudes, as well as promoting good routine practices by consistently reminding patients about health practices and the risks associated with diabetes-related complications.

Abstract

The study revealed a high percentage of surveyed patients with good knowledge and a positive attitude towards diabetic foot care. However, significant gaps in diabetic education were evident, as a substantial proportion of patients had not received formal education on the subject. This highlights the need for educational programs aimed at improving both knowledge and attitudes, as well as promoting good routine practices by consistently reminding patients about health practices and the risks associated with diabetes-related complications.
