Abstract: Objective To reveal the effects of ingrown toenail correction nursing technique on preventing diabetic foot in diabetic patients. Methods One hundred and four diabetic patients with ingrown toenail in The First Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical University from January 2019 to January 2021 were investigated herein. These patients were randomly divided in to control group and observation group with 52 patients in each one. The control group was treated with routine trimming while the observation group was subject to ingrown toenail correction nursing technique. And patient recovery, pain and strain before or after trimming nails, total effective rate and incidence of diabetic foot were assessed. Results Incontrast to control group, wound drying time and wound healing time of the patients in observation group were obviously shortened (P<0.05). The times of dressing changed in observation group were fewer than control group (P<0.05). The grades of resting compression, walking compression, resting pain and walking pain for patients in observation group were lower than control group remarkably (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of diabetic foot in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ingrown toenail correction nursing technique could take effective measures to attenuate diabetic patients with ingrown toenail against diabetic foot, accelerate the recovery of patients with ingrown toenail, ameliorate foot pain and compression of patients, and improve the prognosis of patients.
