Treatment outcomes for neuropathic ulcers are also heavily dependent on patients adherence to nutrition recommendations, blood glucose monitoring, physical activity, and weight management.27 Patient education that includes explicit steps for diet and exercise is more likely to achieve success than generic recommendations.27, Self-management is influenced by patients cognitive understanding, motivation level, and ability to troubleshoot problems and barriers.27 In patients with diabetes, low perceived severity of illness and its consequences may be influenced by family history and assumptions that diabetes is a natural part of genetics and/or aging.27 These assumptions can reduce outcome expectations and self-efficacy by creating the impression that diabetes and its consequences are unavoidable.27 Patients and providers should discuss these perceptions and promote skills that enhance self-care, including the ability to troubleshoot unanticipated problems and barriers.27 Other barriers to adherence may include the lack of measurable results for patients who are adherent yet still experience disease progression.27 These barriers can be mitigated by social-environmental support from family, friends, and community resources.28, From a cognitive perspective, the ability to record and interpret glucose measurements, calculate medication doses, and read nutrition labels requires a certain level of literacy and mathematical skill.27 Providers should also assist patients in understanding the difference between test results that show immediate glycemic control (plasma glucose level) versus long-range control (hemoglobin A1c; Table 1).27.

Synthesize the principles of motivational interviewing to best encourage patients to adhere to prescribed wound healing recommendations. Wound care providers can also promote adherence by tracking goals and acknowledging patients accomplishments.2 Setting small, incremental goals promotes gradual increases in patient self-efficacy.13 These goals should be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely); otherwise, lack of attainment can discourage adherence.2 In addition, it is important for patients and providers to discuss potential challenges and collaboratively identify strategies to prevent behavioral lapses.2 Scheduled follow-ups help affirm positive results and provide an opportunity to review any unexpected barriers to adherence.13 Discussing barriers helps patients maintain positive health behaviors, strengthen commitment, and identify new strategies when necessary.13, There are two basic phases in MI: (1) eliciting change talk, that is, desire, reasons, and ability to change; and (2) promoting commitment to new behaviors.10 The mnemonic OARS (open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarization) describes communication techniques commonly used in MI.

Guideline for the management of wounds in patients with lower-extremity venous disease: an executive summary.
