Outline of Research at the Start

糖尿病はインスリン作用不足による慢性高血糖を主徴とし、様々な合併症を引き起こす。糖尿病足病変は、多くの糖尿病合併症と関連しており、患者の生活・セルフケア状況の様々な要因が複合して発症する。糖尿病足病変の足潰瘍は最終的に切断に至る確率が高いのみならず、再発・再切断率も高く、歩行機能が失われた患者のQOLは著しく低下するため、早急に対応しなければならない。
本研究は、糖尿病足病変ハイリスク患者を対象に日常的な自己管理の実態と靴・靴下への認識を明らかにし、自己管理が困難な理由および医療者に求めることを見出し、個別性を配慮した患者教育へとつなげることを目的としている。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to research how patients at high risk for developing diabetic foot ulcers select their footwear to prevent foot lesions. Six categories were identified based on the collected data: "wearing well-fitting footwear”, "wearing footwear that serves the required use”, "harmful effects of wearing ill-fitting footwear”, "changes based on past negative experiences”, "medical foot care support at the outpatient clinic,” and “difficulty in selecting ready-to-wear footwear”. High-risk patients wanted to wear footwear fitted in well with their feet to prevent foot lesions but faced difficulties in selecting from commercially available footwear. These results suggest that diabetic patients at high risk of podiatric issues should be provided accurate information of footwear and its selection in Foot-care clinics or Podiatric examinations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

糖尿病フットケア療養支援において、靴の具体的な情報や選び方の知識提供を継続的に支援していく必要性が示唆された。フットケア外来および足病診療における療養支援の中で、靴選びと着用の方法をより具体的に情報提供することが、糖尿病患者の足病変予防に向けた靴の選びにつながる可能性がある。
