MANAGEMENT OF TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS WOUND AT HOME UTILIZING PURE ODENG HONEY ON GRANULATION TISSUE IN STAGE TWO GANGRENOUS WOUND

Abstract

Honey odeng pure as a topical therapy for wound care contains 40% glucose, 40% fructose, 20% water, and amino acids, biotin, niacin, folic acid, pentenoic acid, proksidin, thiamine, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, antioxidants, and H2O2 as a free radical neutralizer. Pure odeng honey can be used as a primary component in the treatment of grade 2 gangrene wounds. The prevalence of foot ulcers in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) patients ranges from 2% to 10%, with amputation rates of 7% to 20%. One of the non- pharmacological treatments for diabetic gangrene wounds is the use of pure odeng honey. Clinically, honey application can reduce edema, form exudates, minimize scar tissue formation, and reduce pain sensation in burns and other types of wounds. Objective: This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using pure odeng honey in the treatment of stage 2 diabetic ulcer wounds. Method: The research utilizes a Quasi-Experimental design, specifically the Pretest Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design, with the treatment involving the use of pure odeng honey. Ten participants with stage 2 diabetic foot ulcers are included. The instruments used are the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for wound care and wound observation. Results: Clients suffering from diabetic foot ulcers experience improvement in skin tissue integrity related to peripheral neuropathy. The action taken to accelerate the healing of type II diabetes wounds is wound care using pure odeng honey. Wound care using honey is proven effective in expediting the healing of type II diabetes wounds. It is recommended for individuals with a family history of Type II DM that pure odeng honey can be an alternative non-pharmacological option for treating type II gangrene wounds at home.
