Challenges to therapeutic footwear usage for foot ulcer prevention among type 2 diabetes patients: A qualitative study
Objective
Many contemporary designs solely prioritize the therapeutic function of footwear, neglecting other crucial social and environmental considerations. The study aimed to explore challenges to therapeutic footwear usage for foot ulcer prevention.
Methods
A qualitative critical ethnography design was used in this study. Fourteen participants were recruited at the local hospital in Baise City, China. Data were collected through in-depth interview. A thematic analysis approach was conducted for data analyzing.
Results
This study identified two themes: (1) workplace and physical condition, (2) diverse cultural practice. It was worth noting that slipper as a convenient and cheap wearing choice, decreased the usage of therapeutic footwear. The emerging activity of modern square dancing resulted in more requirements for its design. And the symbolic meaning of hard working in barefoot was also challengeable to therapeutic footwear utilization to some extent.
Conclusions
Therapeutic footwear intervention design should not only focus on the therapeutic functionality, but also consider about individuals’ demands towards working environment and physical status, and particular insights regarding culture and social background. We expected these findings could be evidence for improving therapeutic footwear usage in the future.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Tissue Viability is the official publication of the Tissue Viability Society and is a quarterly journal concerned with all aspects of the occurrence and treatment of wounds, ulcers and pressure sores including patient care, pain, nutrition, wound healing, research, prevention, mobility, social problems and management.
The Journal particularly encourages papers covering skin and skin wounds but will consider articles that discuss injury in any tissue. Articles that stress the multi-professional nature of tissue viability are especially welcome. We seek to encourage new authors as well as well-established contributors to the field - one aim of the journal is to enable all participants in tissue viability to share information with colleagues.
