However, at a global level in general, and in Saudi Arabia in particular, investigation of the factors related to self-efficacy in executing foot self-care continues to remain inadequate. This study endeavors to identify the factors associated with the self-efficacy of foot self-care among patients with diabetes in Saudi Arabia. From a tertiary diabetes care center in Saudi Arabia, 175 patients with diabetes were selected to participate in this cross-sectional study. Employing the Arabic version of the Foot Care Confidence Scale (FCCS), the principal end results and the sociodemographic, clinical, and psychosocial independent variables were collected and assessed. From the total reported FCCS score, the mean was found to be 28.1\u2009\u00b1\u20098.2. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated 2 independent factors were positively associated with a higher reported FCCS score; being middle-aged (&lt; 60 years old) (\u03b2=0.31,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .01) and having a higher score on the Foot Care Outcome Expectations Scale (FCOES) (\u03b2=0.36,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; .01). In conclusion, patients with diabetes in Saudi Arabia have a mild level of self-efficacy to perform the needed foot self-care. Therefore, this has turned the spotlight on the young or middle-aged &lt; 60-year-old Saudi population with diabetes as the target group, making them the priority for future self-efficacy promotion programs to upgrade the level of foot self-care.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15347346221148820","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T01:50:02Z","timestamp":1672797002000},"page":"1086-1093","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Factors Associated With Self-Efficacy of Foot Self-Care Among Patients With Diabetes Attending a Tertiary Care Center in Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7795-1221","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Musab Yousef","family":"Al Ayed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anas","family":"Ababneh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Science Private University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asirvatham","family":"Alwin Robert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rania","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibrahim","family":"Al Ghofaili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdulghani","family":"Al Saeed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohamed Abdulaziz","family":"Al Dawish","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sultan Military Medical City"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/18756417OTg2dNzMaTcVY"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573399811666150724095130"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573399812666160126142605"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","unstructured":"Prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia to almost double by 2045: Report.
