Abstract

Patients with diabetic foot ulcers in general have a limited ability to perform activity daily living (ADL). However, currently, no studies are available that investigated factors associated with ADL among patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate factors related with ADL in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. This was a cross sectional study in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Data analysis used Pearson's correlation, independent t-test, and multiple linear regression analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that factors that had a significant impact on ADL in patients with diabetic foot ulcer included age and depression. Moreover, the dominant factor for predicting ADL in patients with diabetic foot ulcer was depression. This is the first study that investigated the factors associated with ADL among patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Age and depression were related with limited ADL in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. In the future, Nurses may be able to identify high-risk patients of disability and conduct preventive interventions.
