Knowledge, Attitude, and Their Predictors Toward Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcer Among Adult Diabetic Patients Attending Diabetic Follow-Up Clinic, in Southern Ethiopia

Nearly half of the participants had good knowledge, and about three-fourths had a positive attitude toward diabetic foot ulcer prevention. Factors such as older age, higher education, urban residence, being married, and a history of foot problems were significantly associated with good knowledge. Similarly, good knowledge and being married were linked to a positive attitude. Although the attitude level is relatively high, the gap in knowledge highlights the need for targeted educational interventions, especially for individuals with a lower educational level and those residing in rural areas.
