Abstract

Failure to manage diabetes occurs due to patient non-compliance in implementing therapy, controlling risk factors, low knowledge and family involvement in caring for diabetes sufferers. Patient diabetics are risk for diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcer problems are a chronic complication and can lead to physical disabilities. This study was a quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design where the study used pre-post-test and cluster sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and observation sheets. The results showed p value = 0.000 (p <0.05) means diabetes self management education with family centered care could prevent the occurrence of diabetic foot ulcers. Improving the quality of life of diabetics can be done with good self-management to avoid complications that can worsen the condition. There is no best educational program if it is not accompanied by compliance, commitment and family support in carrying out treatment.
