Sumario:OBJECTIVES: to map, in the world literature, instruments for assessing foot self-care of people with diabetes. METHODS: a scoping review in Scopus by Elsevier, MEDLINE via PubMed, LILACS, SciELO databases and gray literature, using the controlled words diabetic foot, self care, questionnaire. Search was carried out in February and March 2021, according to JBI recommendations and PRISMA-ScR extension. RESULTS: fifteen studies made up the review, 14 articles and one thesis, published between 2000 and 2020. 16 instruments were identified: five with an emphasis on general self-care and 11 on foot self-care. Inspection, hygiene, washing and drying between the toes, lotion application and use of proper shoes and socks were the main self-care measures presented. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: foot self-care is assessed by knowledge, social support and frequency with which measures are being put into practice, encouraging professional practice.
