According to random number table method, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, with 50 cases in each group. The control group was given continuous care in the conventional way, and the observation group was given PDCA cycle continuation care. Both groups were intervened for six months. The mastery rate of foot care knowledge, mental state, and self-management ability of the two groups were compared.

After nursing, the anxiety and depression scores of the two groups were lower than those before, and the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). All dimensions and total scores of self-management ability in observation group were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).
