ABSTRACT:
Background: Diabetic foot ulcers could lead to amputations, significantly impacting the lives of individuals with diabetes. Methodology: The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) flow diagram was used. Critical appraisal tools such as the AXIS tool for cross-sectional studies, the CONSORT checklist for randomized controlled trials, and the STROBE checklist for observational studies were used to make sense of evidences. Results: Of the 303 studies found on databases, only 8 was used. The systematic review demonstrated that diabetic patients who undergo surgical amputation experience significant challenges across 8 domains of the HRQOL. Conclusion: In order to enhance health-related quality of life for diabetic patients’ post-surgical amputation, the domains of Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional, and Mental Health must collectively enable physical task performance, manage activities of daily living limitations, relieve pain, ensure positive health prognosis, provide energy, foster social interactions, address emotional challenges, and maintain psychological well-being.
