TI  - Knowledge and Behaviors of Foot Care in Muslims With Diabetes Mellitus: Does 
      Islamic Ritual Ablution Make a Difference?
PG  - 21-29
LID - 10.1177/10436596231209046 [doi]
AB  - INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to determine the relationship between ablution 
      ritual and foot knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot 
      ulcers in Muslims with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODOLOGY: A 
      descriptive, comparative method was utilized to identify ablution ritual and foot 
      knowledge, self-care behaviors, and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers. 
      RESULTS: There were 228 persons with T2DM, with 162 participants (71.1%) in the 
      ablution group and 66 participants (28.9%) in the no-ablution group, with 19.7% 
      having diabetic foot ulcers. Diabetic foot knowledge and foot self-care behaviors 
      of persons with T2DM were below a medium level, and there was a significant 
      difference between ablution behavior and the presence of diabetic foot ulcers 
      (x(2) =6.646, p<.05). DISCUSSION: Culturally congruent interventions that 
      acknowledge and understand the cultural practices and beliefs of Muslims with 
      T2DM may be recommended to enhance their knowledge levels and promote positive 
      behavior changes.
