The effect of health promotion on compliance with diabetic foot exercises in increasing foot sensitivity and controlling blood sugar levels
Keywords:
Diabetes mellitus, Health promotion, Diabetic foot exercises, Foot sensitivityAbstract
The increasing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus and its severe complications, particularly diabetic neuropathy, necessitate effective interventions. Management of neuropathy typically involves patient education, pain management, and meticulous foot care. To prevent foot sensitivity disorders, robust health promotion initiatives focused on blood glucose control are crucial, especially diabetic foot exercises which prevent injuries and enhance peripheral circulation. This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests and a control group (n=124 total, 62 in each group via proportional random sampling) to assess the impact of health promotion on adherence to diabetic foot exercises, foot sensitivity, and blood sugar control among individuals with diabetes in Magelang Regency. Results showed a highly significant difference (p<0.001) in both adherences to exercises and foot sensitivity in both groups. These findings conclusively demonstrate that health promotion significantly improves compliance with diabetic foot exercises, leading to enhanced foot sensitivity and better blood sugar control, underscoring the need for appropriate health promotion models in diabetes management.
