About IndoFootCare

Welcome

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a global health issue with complex complications, and Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest number of DM cases worldwide. The high prevalence of diabetes significantly increases the risk of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and associated complications, which have a profound impact on patients’ quality of life. To address this, strategic efforts are required to identify, design, and implement research related to diabetic foot care within the framework of factual, collaborative, and innovative research. TRG Indonesian Diabetic Foot Care Research Group (IndoFootCare) aims to develop evidence-based nursing care modalities that address clinical issues related to diabetic foot care, ultimately improving patient outcomes both locally and globally.
