- Abstract
Objective: to understand nurses' knowledge about diabetic foot care in Primary Care. Method: this is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with 90 nurses from the Family Health Strategy / FHS, using a questionnaire and the Likert scale, which was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and ρ from Spearman. The level of significance was set at 5% and the confidence interval of 95%. Results: it was observed that no nurse had satisfactory knowledge for the prevention of diabetic foot and, regarding the self-assessment of knowledge, 48.9% of nurses considered it regular. It was found, when analyzing the items on the prevention of diabetic foot, better performance for monofilament and neuropathic foot, with lower performance for physical examination; regarding the classification of knowledge, the professionals presented unsatisfactory (45.6%) and conflicting (54.4%) knowledge. Conclusion: it was identified unsatisfactory knowledge for nurses regarding the care of diabetic foot, highlighting the need to update professionals for educational practices regarding the assessment of feet.
