The purpose of this paper was to establish and investigate the frequency of diabetic foot in patients with diabetes. Methods: Mixed methods research was used in the study. The data collection technique was a questionnaire distributed to 60 patients with diabetes and a partially structured interview with two nurses working in a diabetes clinic. Quantitative data were analysed with descriptive and bivariate statistics. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. Results: We have found that leg amputation is not a common complication of a diabetic foot (U = 4.4, p = 0.217), and that it cannot be claimed that the incidence of a diabetic foot is more common in men than in women (U = 0.6, p = 0.417), and that the patients are well educated about diabetic foot care and proper footwear. Discussion and conclusion: What matters most in diabetic foot health education for patients, is that the patients are educated about diabetic foot verbally and in writing. Most often diabetic foot affects the patient's quality of life. This research could be followed by using a higher number of patientsUvod: Diabetično stopalo je skupina sindromov, pri katerih nevropatija, ishemija in infekcija pripeljejo do destrukcije tkiva, končna posledica je zbolevnost, lahko pa tudi amputacija. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti pogostost pojava diabetičnega stopala pri pacientih s sladkorno boleznijo. Metode: V raziskavi je bila uporabljena raziskava mešanih metod. Tehnika zbiranja podatkov je bilo anketiranje 60 pacientov s sladkorno boleznijo in delno strukturiran intervju z dvema medicinskima sestrama, ki delata v diabetološki ambulanti. Kvantitativni podatki so bili analizirani z opisno in bivariatno statistiko. Kvalitativni podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo metode analize vsebine. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da amputacija noge ni pogost zaplet diabetičnega stopala (U = 4,4, p = 0,217) in da ne moremo trditi, da je diabetično stopalo pogostejše pri moških kot pri ženskah (U = 0,6, p = 0,417), ter da so pacienti zelo dobro poučeni glede nege stopal in pravilne obutve. Diskusija in zaključek: Najpomembnejša informacija o zdravstveni vzgoji pri diabetičnem stopalu za paciente je, da so o tem zapletu ozaveščeni pisno in ustno. Diabetično stopalo za paciente najpogosteje prinese spremembo v kakovosti življenja. Možnost za nadaljevanje raziskave bi bila izvedba enake raziskave na večjem številu pacientovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZbornica zdravstvene in babiške nege Slovenije - Zveza strokovnih društev medicinskih sester, babic in zdravstvenih tehnikov Slovenije
