Novita Verayanti Manalu
Abstract
Current wound care has undergone a very rapid development, although there are still many uses of honey as
wound care because it is considered economical. Increased field of science and technology contributes to the
practice of wound care. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of high blood sugar on wound healing
and comparison of effectiveness of wound care using modern wound care at General Hospital and treatment
using honey at Private Hospital by using quantitative approach with quasi experimental research. The sample was
DM patients with gangrenous lesions treated for 15 days with 5 times wound care using a wound assessment
measurement. A total of 20 respondents were selected with control group 10 respondents using modern care and
another 10 respondents using honey. The independent variable is wound care and the dependent variable is the
high blood sugar. The analysis used frequency, percentage, chi square test, and onewayanova. The results showed
no relationship between high blood sugar with wound healing p = 0.943> 0.05. There was a significantdifferences
between modern wound care and using honey in seven out of ten assessments, i.e., wound edges, cave, exudate
type, skin color, edema tissue, granulation tissue, and epithelialization (p = 0.000 < 0.05). This suggests that
modern wound care is more effective than wound care using honey
