Diabetic foot complications are costly and largely preventable through self-care. Therefore, this research aimed to: understand foot self-care in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at a public hospital in Chiclayo, 2023. This research was qualitative, with a descriptive design. The subjects who participated were people with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated at the Las Mercedes hospital and those who had diabetic foot or amputation were excluded. The sample was non-probabilistic, for convenience. The sample size was limited by saturation and redundancy. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect data, validated by expert judgments and pilot testing. It was then approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Medicine for the execution of the project. The data were processed through thematic content analysis; Likewise, the criteria of scientific rigor and ethical principles of Sgreccia bioethics were applied. The results were represented by 5 categories: a) Habits in checking, hygiene, drying and moisturizing the feet, b) Family supportin trimming nails and measures to improve foot circulation, c) Use of appropriate footwear inside and outside the home depending on the weather season and comfort, d) Customs and use of traditional medicine in foot self-care, e) Self-learning and the need for health education for foot self-care. In this study, diabetic patients show deficiencies in their self-care, such as lack of hydration in their feet. Despite some positive practices, such as proper foot hygiene; The lack of family support and the limited teaching of health personnel contribute to risky practices. The need to provide education and supervision to prevent complications is highlighted.
