Factors associated with PDN included an abnormal ankle brachial index (ABI; OR=3.4; 95% CI 1.9 to 6.2; p&lt;0.001), Michigan neuropathy screening index (OR=1.69; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.6; p=0.021), triglyceride level (OR=1.61; 95% CI 1.0 to 2.4; p=0.036) and being female (OR=1.68; 95% CI 1.1 to 2.4; p=0.022). PDN was characterised by uncomfortable feelings of prickling, stinging or burning pain and inexplicable dullness around the base or dorsal areas of the feet, but received little attention or treatment from primary healthcare providers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A high prevalence of PDN was found in rural community residents with type 2 diabetes and the healthcare workers provided little attention to, or treatment of, discomfort. It is important to identify high-risk groups with PDN early in order to prevent foot ulceration and reduce the incidence of amputation of the extremities. It is also urgent to develop appropriate treatment and self-relief behaviours to halt or reverse the progression of PDN for this population living in rural areas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2016-011897","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,3]],"date-time":"2016-10-03T23:10:58Z","timestamp":1475536258000},"page":"e011897","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Prevalence, discomfort and self-relief behaviours of painful diabetic neuropathy in Taiwan: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Sui-Whi","family":"Jane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Chang Gung University of Science and Technology, Taoyun, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming-Shyan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Yunlin, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Nan","family":"Chiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Internal Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Yunlin, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Randal D","family":"Beaton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychosocial & Community Health and Health Services, Schools of Nursing and Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mei-Yen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Chang Gung University of Science and Technology, Chiayi, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Nursing, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan"},{"name":"Professor Research Fellow, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Chiayi, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025121523562814000_6.10.e011897.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)60679-X"},{"key":"2025121523562814000_6.10.e011897.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.diabres.2009.10.007"},{"key":"2025121523562814000_6.10.e011897.3","unstructured":"Health Promotion Administration (HPA), Ministry of Health and Welfare.
