Diabetic foot workshop: Improving technical and educational skills for nurses
Nursing Education
Nursing Education
Report
<p style="text-align: justify;">Diabetes mellitus as one of the most common metabolic disorders has some complications, one of the main ones is diabetic foot<br>
(DF). Appropriate care and education prevents 85% of diabetic foot amputations. An ideal management to prevent and treat diabetic<br>
foot necessitates a close collaboration between the health team members and the diabetic patient. Therefore, improving nurses'<br>
knowledge about DF care and advancement in the quality of care provided by the nurses could significantly improve diabetic foot<br>
prevention and management. Therefore, the aim of DF workshop was to improve technical and educational skills of the nurses to prevent<br>
and manage diabetic foot. Considering the vital role of the nurses in providing DF care, EMRI decided to conduct Diabetic foot<br>
workshop for them. The following five steps were designed for the 14 coordinating sessions in the workshop: Goals definition, deciding<br>
about attendees, location selection, creating agenda, and developing a follow-up plan. “Diabetic Foot Workshop for Nurses” provides<br>
appropriate training to DF nurses at the national level; and combining theory and practice in this workshop not only increases<br>
nurses' knowledge, but also improves their skills in the field of the diabetic foot. Providing education and care to patients by DF nurse<br>
specialists instead of general nurses could be an important output of this workshop, which may lead to DF prevention and amputation<br>
decrease in the long term.</p>
