Foot ulceration is one of the most distressing complications of diabetes, the
impact of which is witnessed daily within the clinical setting. A literature search
outlined that diabetic foot ulcers adversely affect a persons health related quality
of life, and that patients who have diabetic foot ulcers rate their daily experiences
poorer than those who have had amputation. However, it also identified that
there is a lack of qualitative research that allows individuals to express their
thoughts on issues around their own quality of life.
This study was designed to explore the issues around health related quality of life
of patients within the city of Salford who have a primary healed or current
diabetic foot ulcer.
