SELF MANAGEMENT ON DIABETIC PATIENT FOOT ULCER : A SCOPING REVIEW

Abstract

Background ; Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease whose prevalence is increasing every year and has many complications. One of the complications is Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU). The handling of DFU is with a self-management strategy. Objectives; This study aims to explore and summarize the existing literature on self management in DFU patients, as well as identify the factors that affect self-care behavior.Method; This study uses a Scoping Review approach guided by the PRISMA framework. A literature search was conducted through Pubmed, Science Direct and Garuda databases, with inclusion criteria for articles focusing on self-management of DFU patients in the last 10 years. Result; Of the total 113 articles identified, 71 articles remained after duplicate screening. After further evaluation, 28 articles were excluded because they did not meet the criteria, so 7 articles were selected for final analysis. The results showed that stress factors, knowledge and sosial support played an important role in the self-care behavior of DFU patients. Conclusion; Good self-management in DFU patients is greatly influenced by a variety of factors, including knowledge about diabetes and support from the environment. More research is needed to develop interventions that can improve self-care behaviors and prevent further complications in diabetic patients
