Applications of Decision-Support Tools in Amputation Decision-Making for Diabetic Foot Patients
In addition to receiving routine clinical consultations and nursing care identical to the control group, the intervention group will utilize an electronic decision-making aid for diabetic foot amputation. We will design this electronic tool and deliver it to participants via a WeChat Mini Program. Patients will be instructed to spend no more than 60 minutes using the tool, with researchers supervising their sessions and providing assistance as needed. During the study period, the electronic decision-making aid will remain confidential and accessible only to the intervention group, with restricted access for physicians and non-intervention patients.
Routine Clinical Consultation and Nursing Care
Patients received routine clinical consultation and nursing care before and after random assignment.
