ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To compare the correlates of foot self-care behaviours among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) adults with and without comorbid heart failure (HF).DESIGN:
Cross-sectional, correlational, comparative design.METHODS:
A 210 T2D adults (105 with HF and 105 without HF) participated from August-December 2020. Foot self-care behaviour was measured using the foot care subscale of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) instrument. A stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to explore variables predicting foot self-care behaviour.RESULTS:
The participants' mean age was 58.7 ± 10.9 years. Poor foot self-care behaviour was reported in T2D adults both with (53.3%) and without (54.3%) HF. Participants with HF-comorbidity were statistically significantly older and had higher total daily medication intake. Household income and the total number of daily medications statistically significantly predicted foot self-care behaviour in HF-comorbid T2D adults. Marital status, social support and body mass index predicted foot self-care behaviour in the non-HF group.Palavras-chave
