Aim: In the hospital, diabetic foot ulcer is the most common cause of hospitalization of diabetic patients and the most common cause of non-traumatic lower limb amputation, which leads to increased health costs. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between self-efficacy beliefs in foot care and physical self concept in people with diabetes.
Method and Materials: This study was descriptive-cross-sectional. Participants who were suffering from diabetes and referring to specialized Ahmadieh clinic of Torbat Hehdarieh of Khorasan province in Iran were assessed. They were selected through systematic random sampling method. Participants completed a self-report foot Care Self-efficacy (FCS) questionnaire. Data were analyses using SPSS 24.
Findings: There was a positive and relatively strong relationship between foot care self-efficacy and physical self-concept in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with and without diabetic foot ulcers (P<0.001) respectively. There was no relationship between foot care self-efficacy, body self-concept, except the duration of the disease and age, which had a negative and weak relationship with other variables (p>0.05).
Conclusions:  This study showed the non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients who have better  physical self-concept had  higher foot care self-efficacy.

Aim: Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is the most common reason for non-traumatic lower limb amputation, which is most costly. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body self-concept and foot care self-efficacy with diabetic foot ulcer.
Method and Materials: In this cross-sectional study 450 diabetic patients including 225 patients with foot ulcer and 225 patients without foot ulcer were selected randomly and assessed. Participants were asked to complete demographic questionnaire as well as two self – report questionnaires of   Foot Care Self-efficacy (FCSE) and Body Self-Concept (BSC) questionnaires. Data were analyzed through descriptive/analytical tests by SPSS version 24.  
Findings: Totally, 450 diabetic patients with and without foot ulcer (225 participants in each group) were assessed. The mean scores of FCSE of patients with and without foot ulcer were 29.24±6.65 and 47.52±11.01 respectively which was significantly different (P<0.001).   Moreover, these scores of body self-concept of patients with and without foot ulcer were 60.24±8.60 and 84.36±11.41respectively which was different significantly (P<0.001).
Conclusions: This study verified diabetic patients who suffering from foot ulcer had lower beliefs regarding foot care self- efficacy and body self-concept. Therefore, practicing with these patients to improve their self-efficacy and self –concept is strongly recommended.
