Abstract The current study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of computer aided teachingprogramme on knowledge of offloading devices for reducing the level of diabetic foot ulceramong patients with grade II diabetic foot ulcer. Pre- experimental design where one group preand post-test design was adopted for this study. Convenient sampling technique was used in thisstudy. Samples included in this study were both genders with Grade II, III, IV DFU, 30 years andabove, structured knowledge questionnaire were used to assess the level of knowledge ofoffloading devices among patients with Grade II DFU. The study's results indicate that pre-testthe mean score was 0.25 ± 0.44 which was mean percentages 1.25%. In post test the mean scorewas 0.70±0.47 which was mean percentages 3.5%. Significant association was obtained betweenpost test knowledge scores in dietary pattern and types of workers (2=4.45 and 2= 0.09;Significant). Whereas no significant association was observed in post-test knowledge regardingoffloading devices for Age, Gender, BMI, Affected foot, duration of illness and co-morbidillness. There was statistically highly significant effectiveness in computer aided teachingprogramme on knowledge regarding offloading devices for reducing diabetic foot ulcer amongpatients with Grade II diabetic foot ulcer.
