Healing Through Empowerment and Active Listening: Experience-Based Co-Design of a Nurse-Led Personalised Self-Care Support Intervention for Primary Care Patients With Diabetic Foot Ulcers.

Background: The rising prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) highlights the need for effective self-care interventions. Despite strong evidence supporting their effectiveness, patient engagement, uptake, and integration into routine care remain limited. Co-design approaches can enhance the relevance and adoption of interventions but are underutilized in DFU management.

Description and Utilization of Telewound Monitoring Services in Primary Care Patients with Acute Wounds in Singapore: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: To describe an inaugural telewound monitoring service (TMS) designed for the remote monitoring of acute wounds to empower primary care patients, and identify factors associated with the utilization of the TMS.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected from 204 patients who participated in the TMS between June 19, 2016 and August 31, 2017 and analyzed using both descriptive and multiple regression analysis.

Results: The mean patient age was 27.

Factors Associated with Healing Outcomes in Primary Care Patients with Diabetic Foot Ulcers: A Retrospective Study in a Multiethnic Sample.

Objective: To identify and determine patient- and ulcer-related factors associated with healing outcomes within 3 months for patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) in a multiethnic primary care sample.

Methods: Retrospective data were collected over 3 months from 520 primary care patients with a DFU between April 1, 2016 and March 31, 2017. Multivariable prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated using Poisson regression to find associations between patient- and ulcer-related factors and healing outcomes.
