Resumo: Diabetic foot is one of the most serious complications of diabetes and foot ulcer recurrence has been associated with poor foot care. Educational programs may work as a vehicle for promoting knowledge and adequate foot self-care behaviors, reducing potential ulcerative complications in the diabetic foot, and promoting a better quality of life. This study protocol will analyze the impact of two different educational strategies - an instructive video (Experimental Group 1) compared to a foot care leaflet with real-time guided reading (Experimental Group 2) and standard care (Control Group) - on adherence and knowledge about diabetic foot care and patients' perception of their foot health. This study is a Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of a non-pharmacological treatment. Participants need to have a diabetic foot diagnosis and attend a Diabetic Foot Multidisciplinary Consultation at two hospitals from the North of Portugal. Participants will be assessed at the first appointment of the diabetic foot consultation (T0), two weeks after (T1), and three months later, at follow-up (T2). Primary outcomes will be adherence and knowledge about diabetic foot care and general foot health. Secondary outcomes will be illness representations regarding diabetic foot. The results of this study will inform educational interventions to decrease diabetic foot ulcers, amputation rates, and the costs associated with both, contributing to foot care adherence and improve patient's quality of life.
