Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Friedman tests, Spearman correlations, and multiple regression with robust standard errors. All statistical analyses were conducted in R version 4.5.0.\nResults: The mean total knowledge score was 15.42 (SD = 1.44), and the mean total attitude score was 62.13 (SD = 8.51). Knowledge was highest in the physical domain (M = 86.34%, SD = 3.17) and lowest in the psychological domain (M = 17.82%, SD = 6.67). Friedman tests showed significant differences across knowledge domains, chi-square(3) = 783.668, p &lt; 0.001, and attitude domains, chi-square(3) = 435.191, p &lt; 0.001. Significant correlations included total knowledge with physical attitude (rho = 0.565, p &lt; 0.001) and spiritual knowledge with total attitude (rho = 0.564, p &lt; 0.001). The adjusted regression model explained 38.1% of the variance in total attitude score. Spiritual knowledge (B = 0.416, 95% CI [0.312, 0.520], p &lt; 0.001), physical knowledge (B = 0.722, 95%CI [0.393, 1.052], p &lt; 0.001), and psychological knowledge (B = 0.180, 95% CI [0.056, 0.304], p = 0.005) were significant predictors; social knowledge was not significant.\nConclusion: Caregiver attitudes toward holistic DFU support were strongly associated with domain-specific knowledge. Family-centered education could usefully address the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs of caregivers. Nurses could consider screening for domain-specific knowledge gaps, particularly in psychological support, and offering culturally sensitive family education to strengthen caregiver readiness for home-based DFU care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.33546\/bnj.4932","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T05:52:14Z","timestamp":1792561934000},"page":"664-677","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.33546\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Caregiver knowledge and attitudes toward holistic family support in diabetic foot ulcer care: A cross-sectional study in Indonesia"],"prefix":"10.33546","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4116-0150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tengku","family":"Eltrikanawati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5058-488X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rizanda","family":"Machmud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5422-3902","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Decroli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6685-8016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rozi Sastra","family":"Purna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"19163","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"163676","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aiken, L.
