In addition to Amman, the facilities were located in two main Jordanian governorates; Irbid and Al\u2011Karak.<br \/>\nResults: Our findings are consistent with what is known about barriers to effective diabetic foot care. Participants were not practising preventive foot care behaviours due to personal beliefs about healthcare and the structure and culture of healthcare practice in&nbsp; Jordan. Specifically, participants of this study believed that the presence of diabetes does not necessitate the need for regular foot examination when there are no active ulcers on their feet. Additionally, providers of healthcare were not performing foot examination as part of regular diabetes care.<br \/>\nConclusions: Efforts should be made to promote preventive care practices within the context of the Jordanian healthcare system. By so doing, the incidence and severity of diabetic foot ulceration and other consequences may be reduced.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ma\u2019en Abu\u2011Qamar<\/li>\n<li>Anne Wilson<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>diabetic foot, preventive, patients&#8217; views, screening, culture of practive, Jordan<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Foot care within the Jordanian healthcare system: a qualitative inquiry of patient\u2019s perspectives Original&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4779,4776,4674,4778,4777,2677],"class_list":["post-7545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-culture-of-practive","tag-diabetic-foot","tag-jordan","tag-patients-views","tag-preventive","tag-screening","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
