主要结局
Dietary Behaviour
时间窗: 5 weeks; Baseline in Week 1 and follow up in Week 5
The changes of dietary behaviour will be measured twice (Week 1 and Week 5) by using translated Dietary Behavior Questionnaire (DBQ). The questionnaire consists of 30 items with four domains. The domains are selecting a healthy diet with 13 items; arranging a meal plan, 7 items; recognizing the amount of calorie needs, 5 items and managing dietary behaviour challenges, 5 items. 5 points of Likert scale is use from 0 to 4 with 0 for never, 1 for seldom, 2 for occasionally, 3 for often and 4 for repeatedly. The total score of DBQ is ranging from 0 to 120 with score of 0 to 40 categorized as poor behaviour, 41 to 80 categorized as medium and 81 to 120 categorized as better dietary behaviour.
Foot Care Behaviour

The changes of foot care behaviour will be measured twice (Week 1 and Week 5) by using Diabetic Foot Selfcare Behaviour Scale (DFSBS). The questionnaire consist of two parts namely Part 1 and Part 2 with two set of different responses. In Part 1, there are four different questions measuring the self-care activity. The response for this Part 1 consists of days performed from 0 - 7 days. The response will be categorized based on Likert Scale according to the following categories; 0 days for score of 1, 1-2 days for score of 2, 3-4 days for score of 3, 5-6 days for score of 4 and 7 days for score of 5. In Part 2, the question responses are categorized as never (1), seldom (2), sometimes (3), frequently (4) and always (5). The total score accumulated will be in range of 7 - 35. The interpretation of the score will be the higher the score, the better the foot care behaviour.
