Abstract

Background: Methods for treating wounds continue to evolve in response to the increasing number of wounds seen each year. Whether patients have chronic or acute wounds, proper wound care can improve their quality of life. One of the most effective ways to speed up the wound healing process is to wash it. As excessive or inappropriate washing procedures can cause trauma to the wound bed, it is important to tailor the washing method to the specific wound condition. Aims: Comparing the efficacy of different wound cleansing techniques for chronic wounds. Design and Methods: A literature review. This research study is a literature review using PI(E)O (patient, intervention/exposure, and outcome) to determine the keywords used in the search in several databases. The databases used were PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Science Direct and ProQuest. The keywords used were (Wound Cleansing Method OR Wound Cleansing Technique) AND (Acute OR Chronic Wound). Results: A total of 16,500 articles were identified, after screening for the last 5 years (2019-2024), in English, full text, duplication, and according to the title and abstract, 18 articles were obtained, and 9 articles were included in this study. The results of the literature search found nine articles describing the wound washing methods used by patients with acute and chronic wounds, including swabbing in 2 articles, and irrigation in 7 articles. Conclusion: Irrigation is the most widely used method, due to the reduced number of bacteria, short healing time, minimal pain and high satisfaction rate. In addition, the irrigation method can be used in conjunction with other methods

Abstract

Background: A persistent condition known as diabetes mellitus causes elevated blood sugar levels due to the pancreas's inability to make insulin. Diabetic foot ulcers are one consequence. Diabetic wounds can heal more quickly with the help of aloe vera and honey. Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of wound care using curcumin gel and honey on diabetic foot ulcer healing at Bilqis Clinic Bekasi. Design and Methods: A one-group pre-post experimental design was employed in the study. All 78 participants were selected using a complete sample procedure; the study population consisted of people with diabetic foot ulcers. Results: The age distribution of ozone group participants was 47.13 with a 23.14 standard deviation. The rising BMI averaged 26.17 (7.31). Many participants, 38 (55.1%), attended high school of the 48 people (77.4%), most had diabetes for less than three years. Patient glucose control was stable, averaging 121 (60.11) during the assessment. HbA1c was 10.29 (2.23), and basal wound size was 43.91 (21.45). The Wilcoxon test showed a significant difference (p=0.027 <0.05) between data gathered before and after using curcumin gel and honey. Conclusion: Curcumin and honey, when used as a wound treatment, has a notable impact on the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers. When treating chronic wounds, a mixture of curcumin and honey is suggested

Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a prevalent disease, imposing a significant burden on public health due to its widespread occurrence and association with numerous disabilities and fatalities. Uncontrolled DM can lead to severe metabolic complications and long-term vascular issues, including microangiopathy and macroangiopathy. Additionally, individuals with DM are highly susceptible to foot infections, which can escalate into gangrene if not properly managed. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the risk factors for diabetic foot ulcers in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus at the Hospital Infatil e Maternidade Jardim Amalia Methods: The research employed an analytical survey method with a case-control study design. Purposive sampling was utilized to select a total of 134 participants, comprising 67 individuals in the case group (those with diabetic foot ulcers) and 67 in the control group (those without diabetic foot ulcers). Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire, and the results were analyzed using the Odds Ratio (OR) test to identify significant risk factors. Findings: The findings of the study indicated that age is a risk factor for developing diabetic foot ulcers in patients with Type II DM, with an OR of 3.15 (95% CI: 0.43-17.216). The duration of diabetes also emerged as a significant risk factor, with an OR of 3.13 (95% CI: 0.62-14.12). Furthermore, foot care practices were identified as a crucial risk factor, with an OR of 4.13 (95% CI: 0.72-12.45). Conclusion: this study demonstrates that age, the length of time a patient has had diabetes, and their foot care routines are significant risk factors for the development of diabetic foot ulcers in patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus at Hospital Infatil e Maternidade Jardim Amalia. These findings underscore the importance of early intervention and targeted patient education to mitigate these risks and improve patient outcome

Abstract

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a major complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity, increased healthcare costs, and a higher risk of amputations. Traditional wound care methods, such as passive dressings, have limitations in promoting faster healing and infection control. Bioactive dressings, which include antimicrobial and regenerative components, have shown promise in improving wound healing outcomes in DFU patients, but robust evidence comparing their efficacy to passive dressings in clinical practice remains scarce. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of bioactive dressings compared to passive dressings in promoting wound healing in patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in a single center, enrolling 90 adults with chronic DFUs. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either bioactive dressings (n=45) or passive dressings (n=45) for a 3-month treatment period. Inclusion criteria included adults aged 18–75 years with DFUs of at least 6 weeks duration and Wagner grade 2 or higher ulcers. The primary outcome was wound size reduction, assessed at baseline, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months. Secondary outcomes included wound depth, infection control, epithelialization, and granulation. Results: At 1 month, the bioactive dressing group showed a significantly greater reduction in wound size compared to the passive dressing group (mean reduction 45% vs. 30%, p=0.003). Bioactive dressings also demonstrated superior infection control (p<0.001) and promoted faster epithelialization (p=0.022) and granulation (p=0.015). The control group exhibited slower healing rates and less pronounced improvements in secondary outcomes. Conclusions: Bioactive dressings significantly improve wound healing, infection control, and tissue regeneration in patients with diabetic foot ulcers compared to passive dressings. These findings support the integration of bioactive dressings as an effective treatment option in DFU management, particularly in the early stages of wound healing. Further studies with longer follow-up are needed to assess long-term outcomes
