The lived experience of people with diabetes using off-the-shelf prescription footwear in Singapore: a qualitative study using interpretative phenomenological analysis

Sheena Tan Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Singapore

Footwear prescription has been a part of clinical guidelines to manage Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) in Singapore. However, adherence to prescription footwear is typically poor amongst patients. Reasons for this have been explored in Northern American and Western European studies, but not in Singapore’s context. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of participants with diabetes using prescription footwear in Singapore.
