Report of the Home Health Care Committee: Results of the “Questionnaire on Foot Care at Home and Nursing Facilities” for Society Members in 2022

Abstract

 The Japanese Society for Foot Care and Podiatric Medicine established a new committee for home medical care in 2022. The committee conducted an internet questionnaire survey of the society members to investigate the current situation of medical foot care and podiatric treatment provided at patients’ homes and nursing care facilities to identify problems. Based on the results of the survey, we discussed necessary and sufficient foot care at home and issues to be solved for the spread of these services.
