Abstract

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a condition of deep tissue damage associated with Diabetes Mellitus in the lower extremities. Conducted with quantitative research of single group method with pre and post test design approach, this research primarily aims to know the effectiveness of utilizing combination of Autolysis & Conservative Sharp Wound Debridement in preparing granulation on unstageable DFU. It involved 30 respondents in the wound care clinic as the research sample and used the Wound Bed Score observation sheets measured on days 1, 7 and 28. The data analysis to determine effectiveness before and after intervention was carried out using dependent t-test (paired t-test), whilst to test effectiveness of giving intervention after controlled confounder was performed by linear regression. Based on the characteristics of the respondent’s, it is revealed that most of them were female (83.3%) and have normal BMI (80%). The average age of the respondents were 55.43 years old with the duration of DM of 13.27 years with average blood sugar of 101.2 mg/dL. The highest mean difference was on the 1st day of the 28th. The statistical results of this study indicated that the mean difference values for day 1 and 7 were 0.133 (SD 1.19, p value = 0.546), mean difference of day 7 and day 28th grade was of 2.5 (SD 1.306, p value=0.0001) and mean difference between day 1 and day 28 was of 2.63 (SD 1.273, p value=0.0001). This research recommends that the further research use different research methods.
