We are recruiting patients and healthcare professionals who have diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) /or work with patients with diabetic foot ulcers to participate in interviews to explore their experiences on reducing pressure on the at risk areas of the feet and the use of wound dressings.
Study Aim
- To examine the perceptions of health care professionals and patients with DFUs on how we should reduce the pressure on the at-risk areas of the feet.
- To examine the barriers to the use of wound dressings in DFU and limitations/efficacy of currently used wound dressings as perceived by patients with DFU and healthcare professionals.
- To explore the experiences of healthcare professionals and patients with DFU on the use of wound dressings in informing the development and design of more effective wound dressings for DFUs.
Study details
The interview discussions will;
- Explore the factors that contribute to the development of diabetic foot ulcers.
- Examine the use of footwear at home and work.
- Examine the barriers to patients reducing the pressure on the at risk areas of their feet
- Explore the use of wound dressings by patients with DFU and the barriers and limitations of current wound dressings
- Examine the effectiveness of current wound dressings and investigate factors which inhibit the proper use of wound dressing.
- Explore the development and design of more effective wound dressings for DFUs?
