Abstract
[Resumen] En este artículo se realiza una búsqueda de la mejor evidencia disponible sobre la educación del paciente diabético para la prevención de úlceras en los pies. Siguiendo las diferentes fases de la podología basada en la evidencia se seleccionan tres estudios para ser evaluados críticamente. Aunque los resultados no han sido suficientemente significativos parece que la educación en los pacientes más graves y pacientes con neuropatía periférica podría resultar más efectiva. Por el contrario, otras medidas educacionales no obtuvieron diferencias concluyentes en comparación con la atención convencional. Ante la falta de evidencias debemos ser cautos en la aplicación de las medidas educacionales de forma generalizada, son necesarios más ensayos controlados aleatorios (ECAs), con una buena calidad metodológica, para esclarecer los resultados existentes.
[Abstract] In this article we aim to achieve the best available evidence on the diabetic patient education as a prevention of feet ulcers. Three studies are selected to be evaluated through Podiatry Based on Evidence. Although the results have not been significant enough, it seems that educating patients with severe conditions and peripheric neuropathy could be more efficient. On the other hand, the other educational measures didn’t get convincing results as compared to those resulting from the conventional care. Due to the lack of evidence, we should be prudent when applying educational measures in a greater scope. In order to clarify the existing results, more randomised controlled trials with a good methodological quality are a must.
