Methods: A total of 118 patients with diabetic foot who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of the Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical university for Nationalities from May 2022 to May 2025 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into control group and observation group by random number table method, 59 cases in each group. The control group received routine discharge nursing and follow-up visit, and the observation group received continuous nursing intervention based on WeChat platform for 6 months. The intervention included establishing a WeChat nurse-patient group, regularly pushing home care knowledge of diabetic foot, online answering, personalized psychological counseling, and supervising blood glucose and medication management. The medical coping style questionnaire and diabetes specific quality of life scale were used to evaluate and compare the coping style and quality of life of the two groups before and after intervention. Results: After intervention, the score of confrontation dimension in the medical coping style scale of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the score of avoidance and yield dimension was significantly lower than that of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The scores of each dimension of diabetes-specific quality of life scale in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Continuous nursing based on WeChat platform can effectively improve the medical coping style of patients with diabetic foot, promote them to adopt positive coping strategies, reduce negative avoidance and yield psychology, so as to significantly improve the quality of life of patients, which is worthy of popularization and application in clinical nursing work.
