Then, the Turkish scale items will be translated back into English and the linguist's opinion will be taken that the scale can be applied. Language validity and content validity will be done in the study. Explanatory Factor Analysis will be applied for the validity of the questionnaire. Kaiser Meyer Olkin(KMO) Test, which measures the adequacy of sample size as antecedent tests, and Bartlett's Test For Sphericity will be used to test sphericity. Factor Analysis Principal Component Analysis Method will be applied.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Diabetic Foot Self-Care Questionnaire Baseline The Turkish validity and reliability of a scale consisting of 16 questions created to evaluate self-care in patients with diabetic foot has not been determined. The survey is divided into 3 areas. Areas 1 to 6 are self-care areas, Items 7 to 11 are self-management areas, and areas 12 to 16 are self-exploration areas.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Foot Care Behavior Scale Baseline It was created to develop foot self-care behaviors in diabetes. The scale, which is a 5-point Likert type scale, is scored according to agree-disagreement (1= Never, 2= Sometimes, 3= Sometimes, 4= Often, and 5= Always) and consists of 15 items. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale, which evaluates foot care behavior as a single dimension, is 15 and the highest score is 75. An increase in the scale score indicates that the individual's foot self-care behaviors are better.
