Healing through empowerment and active listening ( <scp>HEALing</scp> ): A mixed‐methods evaluation of the feasibility and acceptability of a nurse‐led self‐care support intervention for people with diabetic foot ulcers
This pilot suggests the feasibility and acceptability of HEALing in nurse-led DFU care, with preliminary indications of psychological and clinical benefits. The findings support the potential for scalable integration of psychological support, warranting further evaluation in larger, controlled trials with extended follow-up.
