Abstract

Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a major global health concern frequently complicated by diabetic foot ulcers, which require effective wound care to prevent infection and accelerate healing. Moist Wound Healing (MWH) and Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) have been recognized as complementary therapies that may enhance skin and tissue integrity. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining MWH and VCO ointment on wound healing and pain reduction in a patient with a diabetic ulcer. Methods: This case study involved a T2DM patient presenting with a grade IV diabetic ulcer on the right foot. The intervention consisted of MWH combined with VCO ointment, administered three times at three-day intervals. Wound healing was evaluated using the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BWAT) to measure skin and tissue integrity, while pain intensity was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). Results: After three intervention sessions, notable improvements were observed. The BWAT total score decreased from 60 to 29, reflecting substantial tissue regeneration. The presence of healthy granulation tissue increased from 90% to 96%, indicating enhanced wound bed recovery. Additionally, the patient’s pain score decreased from 5 (moderate) to 2 (mild) on the NRS scale. Conclusion: The application of Moist Wound Healing combined with VCO ointment demonstrated effectiveness in improving skin and tissue integrity, enhancing granulation tissue formation, and reducing pain in a T2DM patient with a diabetic ulcer. This intervention shows potential as part of comprehensive wound care management; however, further studies with larger samples and extended observation periods are needed to strengthen these findings.

Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major occupational health concern among agricultural workers, yet evidence specific to smallholder coffee farmers regarding the combined impact of work duration and work processes remains limited, particularly in the context of developing economies like Indonesia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from 1–13 October 2025 in Tunyang Induk Village, Indonesia. Using total population sampling, 135 coffee farmers participated. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire that assessed sociodemographic variables, work duration (categorized as ≤8 hours or >8 hours/day), work processes (evaluated using an adapted Quick Exposure Check tool and categorized as "good" or "poor"), and low back pain (assessed via the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire). Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression using SPSS version 26.0, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The prevalence of low back pain among coffee farmers was 65.2% (n=88). Of those with LBP, 59.1% reported moderate-to-severe pain, and 72.7% indicated that pain interfered with daily farming activities. Bivariate analysis revealed strong associations between LBP and both extended work duration (>8 hours/day; OR = 33.1, 95% CI: 12.8–85.6, p < 0.001) and poor work processes (OR = 215.8, 95% CI: 56.2–828.9, p < 0.001). Significant associations were also found with age ≥40 years (OR = 2.2, p = 0.027) and farming experience ≥10 years (OR = 2.5, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Prolonged work hours and inadequate ergonomic practices are significant, independent risk factors for low back pain among Indonesian coffee farmers. These findings highlight an urgent need for ergonomic interventions, structured work-rest scheduling, and community-based health education programs to reduce musculoskeletal strain. Future efforts should integrate occupational health perspectives into agricultural policy and expand the role of community nursing in preventive ergonomic care.
