Abstract

Background: Buloh honey possesses antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the ability to accelerate tissue regeneration. The innovative combination of Moist Wound Healing (MWH) and modern dressing based on Buloh bee honey provides an effective, safe, and affordable solution for managing diabetic foot ulcers. This approach can improve patients’ quality of life and reduce both the economic and public health burdens caused by poorly managed diabetic complications. Objective: To analyze the acceleration of diabetic ulcer wound healing before and after the intervention using the combination of MWH and modern dressing based on Buloh bee honey. Method: This study employed a quasi-experimental research design with a control time series comparison group. Results: Wound healing was assessed using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool, which evaluates parameters such as wound size, depth, edge condition, tunneling, necrotic tissue type and area, exudate type and amount, surrounding skin condition, peripheral edema, granulation tissue size, peripheral induration, and epithelialization area. The results showed that the combination of Moist Wound Healing (MWH) and Buloh bee honey ointment accelerated the healing of diabetic ulcers compared to conventional treatment. In the first week, the intervention group began to show healthy granulation tissue formation and reduced exudate, while the control group demonstrated slower improvement. By the fourth week, 73.1% of participants in the intervention group reached near-complete epithelialization, compared to 41.8% in the control group. Conclusion: The combination of MWH and Buloh bee honey ointment proved to be more effective in accelerating diabetic ulcer healing than conventional care. This intervention promotes faster new tissue formation, reduces exudate, and enhances wound epithelialization. The approach is safe, natural, and recommended as an alternative therapy for chronic wounds in diabetic patients.

Abstract

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent health problems among women and may cause long-term physical, psychological, social, and emotional consequences. Mastectomy, which is commonly performed as part of breast cancer treatment, can improve survival outcomes; however, postoperative changes in body appearance often affect body image, self-confidence, and the overall quality of life of survivors. In addition, weight fluctuations during the recovery period may influence Body Mass Index (BMI) and psychological well-being. This community service program aimed to improve breast cancer survivors’ knowledge and ability to adopt healthy lifestyle practices for maintaining an optimal BMI, increase awareness of physical and psychological health, and strengthen self-confidence following cancer treatment. The program was implemented using an educational-participatory approach through health education sessions, interactive discussions, nutritional status consultations, light physical activity demonstrations, and experience-sharing sessions. Evaluation was conducted using pretest and posttest assessments involving 20 breast cancer survivors aged 35–60 years at Grandmed Hospital, Lubuk Pakam. The results demonstrated that the proportion of participants with a good level of knowledge increased from 20.0% to 80.0%, while those with poor knowledge decreased from 45.0% to 0%. The mean knowledge score improved from 58.5 to 85.5, representing an increase of 27.0 points (46.2%). Furthermore, 90.0% of participants understood how to maintain an ideal BMI, 100.0% recognized the importance of regular physical activity, and 85.0% reported increased self-confidence after participating in the program. Participant satisfaction ranged from 75.0% to 85.0%. In conclusion, healthy lifestyle promotion was effective in improving knowledge, understanding, and self-confidence among breast cancer survivors, thereby supporting the adoption of sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors.
