Before the intervention, both the Control and Intervention groups underwent face-to-face interviews and completed forms such as the 'Patient Identification Form,' 'Nottingham Functional Foot Care Diagnosis Form,' and 'Diabetic Foot Evaluation Form.' Subsequently, both groups received one-on-one training covering various aspects related to diabetic foot. This training, conducted by the researcher, involved interactive question-answer sessions and practical demonstrations of foot care techniques.

Following the training, the Intervention group received a care package comprising foot examination, guidance on correct foot care practices, and a request for regular blood glucose monitoring. These patients were then monitored at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months.

For the Control group, after receiving education and brochures, the 'Nottingham Functional Foot Care Diagnostic Form' and 'Diabetic Foot Evaluation Form' were completed at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months. Similar to the Intervention group, new wound formation, wound classification, and healing status of existing ulcers were monitored for this group as well.

A care package consisting of foot examination, correct foot care behaviours, and regular blood glucose monitoring was used.

It is useful for individuals with diabetic foot wounds to gain positive behaviors and reduce the development of complications.Through the Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF), it is assessed that the individual gains positive foot care behaviors. The existing wound of the individual who gains positive foot care behaviors improves, new wound formation is prevented, and diabetes is controlled. The Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare (NAFF) is based on individuals' responses on four Likert-type scales of foot care behavior, with each item scored from zero to three. A high score indicates positive foot care behavior.

The care package approach aims to reduce the development of diabetic foot ulcers in the community.The diabetic foot assessment and follow-up form was used to measure the depth, length and width of the wound to observe whether new wounds were formed and the healing status of the wound. The commonly used Wagner classification, which facilitates wound classification by grading the wound from 0 to 5, was used.With the care package approach, the individual knows the factors that may cause new wounds as a result of the positive behaviors he/she gains and prevents the formation of new wounds by behaving accordingly.

The results of the literature review will contribute to further studies with individuals with diabetic foot ulcers and to the evaluation of the effectiveness of the care bundle approach. The care package has been studied in different fields but has been limited to individuals with diabetic foot. After the literature review and expert opinion, the effect of the care package on the foot care behaviors of patients with diabetes in the "Patient-participated diabetic foot ulcer preventive care package" will be evaluated on new wound formation and wound healing. Face-to-face data will be collected. "Nottingham Assessment of Functional Footcare" scale will be used for foot care behaviors and "Wagner classification" will be used for wound assessment.
