Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that often results in foot complications. Effective foot care is vital to prevent adverse outcomes, and nurse ministered interventions such as integrated foot care bundles have shown promise in improving patient health.To assess the effectiveness of a nurse-administered integrated foot care bundle on physical and physiological outcomes among patients with chronic diabetes mellitus in a selected hospital at Coimbatore..A one-group pretest & posttest design was conducted among 60 patients, assessing knowledge, physical outcomes (skin, nails, deformities, footwear), and physiological outcomes (FBS, PPBS, HbA1C) before and after the intervention, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and Chi-square tests.Post-intervention, 61.7% achieved excellent knowledge scores. Significant improvements were observed in physical outcomes (skin, nails, footwear, deformities) p<0.001) and physiological outcomes (FBS, PPBS, HbA1C) (p>0.05.The Nurse-Ministered Integrated Foot Care Bundle was highly effective in enhancing knowledge, improving physical outcomes, and controlling physiological outcomes among chronic diabetes mellitus patients. Nurse-Ministered Integrated Foot Care Bundle educational interventions play a critical role in preventing diabetes- related foot complications and promoting self-care practices.
