Program-based education has emerged as a crucial strategy in preventing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and related complications. This scoping review aims to assess the program-based education interventions in preventing DFUs in patients with diabetes. A comprehensive search was conducted across major electronic databases, including PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, and CINAHL. The primary outcome measure was foot self-care behaviors, while secondary outcomes included foot-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and quality of life. The studies encompassed diverse educational programs, such as structured foot care education, and multidisciplinary interventions. In total, 135 articles regarding Program-based education to prevent Diabetic Foot Ulcer on patient with diabetes were found in the literature. However, 18 articles that met the study criteria were reviewed. The results highlight the effectiveness of combining education with follow-up sessions to enhance self-care behavior, self-efficacy, knowledge, self-management, and quality of life in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Bacterial biofilms represent a formidable challenge in the treatment of chronic wounds, largely because of their resistance to conventional antibiotics. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains exacerbates this issue, necessitating a shift towards exploring alternative therapeutic approaches. In response to this urgent need, there has been a surge in research efforts aimed at identifying effective non-antibiotic treatments.

Objectives: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are one of the most serious chronic diabetes related complications. Since medial arterial calcification (MAC) can be present in patients with a DFU, toe pressure (TP) measurements are advised to grade potential ischemia. However, the value of TP to predict clinical outcomes in this group of patients is poorly understood.
