Diabetes mellitus patients are at risk of 15% having diabetic foot complications during their lifetime and 70% recurrence within 5 years. Studies show that educational programs can help improve self-care and reduce the risk of diabetic foot. Educational approach that is considered effective and efficient is education in groups. This study aims to determine the effect of group-based educational programs on self-care towards diabetic foot risk score in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Design of quasi experiment research utilized the pre-test and post-test with control group. The intervention and control group was determined through cluster sampling on Garuda Central Healthcare Public area in Bandung City. Respondents were taken by purposive sampling as much as 68 respondents, which is intervention group (n = 33) and control group (n = 35). Data were collected using self-care questionnaires and diabetic foot risk screening. Data were analyzed by paired t test and independent t test. The result showed that there was difference of diabetic foot risk score between groups (p value 0.001). Self-care activities were also found to differ in the intervention group (p value 0.000) and control group (p value 0.001). Group-based education programs on self-care have an effect on decreasing the risk of diabetic foot. This program can be applied in public health care activities (Perkesmas) by improving self-care monitoring and diabetic foot risk in patients with diabetes mellitus.
