As essential team members of the healthcare system, nurses play an important role in diabetic foot management and are indispensable in patients\u2019 education to prevent diabetic foot. The study assessed nurses\u2019 knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding diabetic foot care in Sol Plaatje primary health care centres in the Northern Cape: Sol Plaatje\u2019s 14 district municipality clinics, Kimberley, Northern Cape.\n\nMethods:\u00a0This was a descriptive cross-sectional analytical study. A questionnaire assessed nurses\u2019 knowledge, practices and attitudes towards diabetic foot care in the above setting.\n\nResults:\u00a0A total of 128 professionals, enrolled and auxiliary nurses who are providing primary care to patients within the 14 clinics in the Sol-Plaatje sub-district were recruited for the study. Hundred and five participants completed the self-administered questionnaires. The majority (95%) were females and 58.1% knew that South African Diabetic Foot Guidelines existed, while 57.7% had read them. About 57% did not know about the 60-s diabetic foot screening tool, and 67% did not know the 10 g monofilament test. Approximately 29.8% had never attended a class on diabetic foot care and 85.6% required training on diabetic foot care.\n\nConclusion:\u00a0This study revealed that the majority of nurses working in the Sol-Plaatje sub-district primary health care centres are knowledgeable of the diabetic foot guidelines for primary care. However, there is a need for ongoing education on diabetic foot care.\n\nContribution:\u00a0The study results will help improve nurses\u2019 awareness of the importance of diabetic foot care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/safp.v66i1.5935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,8]],"date-time":"2024-06-08T10:19:03Z","timestamp":1717841943000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Knowledge, attitudes and practices on diabetic foot care among nurses in Kimberley, South Africa"],"prefix":"10.4102","volume":"66","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4820-2406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Labala G.","family":"Mafusi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5555-7779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chika K.","family":"Egenasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9944-1807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wilhelm J.","family":"Steinberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5983-7919","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mathew O.","family":"Benedict","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4797-0357","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Talat","family":"Habib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0083-9418","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melvin","family":"Harmse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5092-2957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cornel","family":"van Rooyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/009xwd568","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of the Free State"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lazzarini PA, Raspovic KM, Meloni M, Van Netten JJ.
