This quasi-experimental research aimed to study the effects of the self-management program with Baowan Baochai mobile application for foot care behaviors prevention among adults and elderly with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sixty people were recruited and randomly assigned into the experimental group (n=30) and the comparison group (n=30), who meet the inclusion criteria and a match pairing method which performed according to blood glucose values and education level. The Instruments consist of the self-management program with Baowan Baochai Mobile Application and for foot care behaviors questionnaires (a=.87). Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The result showed that the experimental group had the interaction between the self-management program among adults and aging with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes mellitus on foot care behaviors prevention (F=9.13, P=.004). The mean scores for foot care behaviors in the experimental group higher than the comparison group with statistical significance in both adults and elderly groups. When comparing between the experimental and the comparison group, it was found that in the experimental group, both adults and elderly had better foot care behaviors. Nevertheless, in the comparison group, it was found that in adults’ group had significantly better foot care behaviors than the elderly group (P < .05). In conclusion, both the adult and the elderly had better foot care behaviors after receiving the program. This indicates that the program is suitable for promoting foot care behavior among adults and the elderly. Therefore, health care providers can use mobile applications for the elderly as well as adults.
