Foot Clinical Trial
Official title:
Foot Self-care in Older Adults Without Diabetes
This pilot study will make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of 2 Feet 4 Life, a foot care self-management program, on foot care knowledge, foot care self-efficacy, foot care behaviors, and foot pain in community dwelling older adults without diabetes mellitus.
One in three older adults have foot problems such as bunions, corns, calluses, foot pain, or
nail disorders, but those problems are often ignored or overlooked until they threaten
mobility or quality of life. With proper self-management, skin and nail problems can be
addressed before they become severe; however, older adults without diabetes are not routinely
informed of self-management techniques unless they consult a specialist. Targeting a foot
care self-management program to community-dwelling older adults without diabetes may not only
enhance foot function and preserve independence but also reach older adults with limited
healthcare access.
Study participants will be 24 nondiabetic older adults recruited from two Midwestern
community senior centers. One community center will be randomized to receive the
intervention, 2 Feet 4 Life, the other will be a true control group receiving no
intervention. The 2 Feet 4 Life foot care self-management program is based on Social
Cognitive Theory and will be delivered in four weekly, one-hour group sessions. The program
includes self-management teaching, interactive lecture, and group activities, including
instruction, demonstration, and practice of routine foot care. In addition to usual lecture
and handouts, 2 Feet 4 Life will rely on group interaction, practice opportunities, and the
provision of foot care supplies so participants can perform foot care at home. Program topics
include appropriate foot hygiene and footwear, identification and treatment of common foot
problems, demonstration of proper foot care with opportunities for practice and instructor
feedback, and guidance in obtaining appropriate footwear.
Outcome measures will be assessed pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, three
months post-intervention, and six months post-intervention. This will be the first study to
test a nurse run, community-based, foot care self-management program for non-diabetic older
adults.
