Article Title and Year Published

Exploration of an innovative geometric parameter based on performance enhancement for foot print recognition. (2019)

Wound-healing peptides for treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers and other infected skin injuries. (2017)

Vascular surgical aspect of diabetic foot shape. (2019)

Delayed referral of patients with diabetic foot ulcers : patterns between primary care and specialised units. (2018)

Research Questions (Qualitative)/Hypothesis (Quantitative)

How effectively does the innovative geometric parameter enhance foot print recognition?

What efforts have been made to find peptides that can be used to treat wounds in diabetic people?

How can we reduce cases of amputation in patients with diabetic foot?

How often do patients with diabetic foot get referrals to specialized units?

Purposes/Aim of Study

To identify a new foot print parameter that is more effective.

To identify if there are any efforts that have been made to identify an effective way to treat wounds in people with diabetes.

To identify ways through which we can reduce cases of patients who end up being amputated due to diabetic foot.

The study aimed at identifying the patterns of diabetic patients from when they seek primary care to when they get referrals to specialized units.

Design (Type of Quantitative, or Type of Qualitative)

This is a qualitative design research.

The research design applied here is qualitative.

This was a qualitative research.

This is a quantitative research.

Setting/Sample

This research was carried out in a hospital with cases selected systematically.

This research was carried out in selected hospitals and research institutions that deal with diabetes. These were selected randomly.

The research was carried out in hospitals using data of patients who have had to undergo amputation due to diabetic foot.

The research was carried out in 4 countries.

Methods: Intervention/Instruments

Research methods involved include the use of algorithms.

The main research methods that were used in this interview were experiments and interviews.

The main research methods used in this research were interviews and questionnaires.

Research methods used in this research were surveys and questionnaires.

Analysis

This research aimed at identifying whether the new parameter would enhance foot print recognition.

This research aimed at identifying whether there are any efforts that have been put to come up with an effective peptide to treat wound in people with diabetes.

This research aimed at identifying the number of diabetic patients that have to undergo amputation due to diabetic foot and the measures that could be taken to reduce these cases.

The research analyzed the cases of patients who get referrals to specialized care units and how often this happens.

Key Findings

Results of the findings was that the new parameter enhances recognition by footprint.

It was found out that although there have been efforts to find a way to treat wounds in diabetic people, there has not been a specific cure.

According to the research, most patients have to undergo amputation due to the fact that doctors discover the diabetic foot when it is full blown.

According to the research, most of the referrals for patients with diabetic foot are delayed for at least three weeks and this has contributed to the rising cases of amputation among these patients.

Recommendations

This new parameter should be adopted in hospitals to be used during activities that require foot print recognition.

Medical research institutes should try their best in finding this cure. Meanwhile, doctors and nurses should find an alternative way to deal with this problem.

Patients should report to their doctors as soon as they identify unusual signs. Doctors should also refer their patients before it becomes too late.

Diabetic foot patients should be referred as soon as possible once they seek primary care services.

Explanation of How the Article Supports EBP/Capstone Project

In order for doctors to be able to take care of the diabetic patients effectively, there has to be clear biometrics about the number of patients involved. The systems also need to be secured. These require that the foot print recognition be effective.

Wounds are common diabetic patients. In the process of caring for patients with diabetes, there has to be a way to treat those wounds.

Diabetic foot is a common sign in patients with diabetes. Most of these patients have to undergo amputation as part of their treatment. There should however be other methods to treat diabetic foot rather than amputation.

Delays in referrals have been found to be the leading cause of amputation in diabetic patients. To address care in diabetic patients, this is one issue that needs to be addressed.
