Background: Diabetic ulcers often result in amputations. The bacteria found in diabetic ulcers are Enterobacter sp, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella sp and Pseudomonas sp. Nursing management of ulcer patients has been attempted but nothing has been effective yet. Using virgin coconut oil (VCO) contains anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and has an analgesic effect to increase the formation of new blood vessels with faster wound healing. Aim was to study the effect of wound care by giving VCO on the colonization of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in diabetic ulcers.Methods: Quasi-experimental research with the two-group pre-test and post-test design approach involved 36 diabetic ulcer patients with consecutive sampling by doing wound care for 4 days. The duration of treatment was 30-40 minutes. Data was taken by swab on wound fluid before and after the intervention. Bivariate analysis carried out t-independent test of DM ulcers.Results: The results showed the average number of colony staphylococcus in the intervention group before being given wound care with VCO 72.88, while after being treated with 38.88 wound VCO and the average results of the number of colony staphylococcus in the control group before being treated with NaCl 77.88, whereas after being treated with VCO 38.88 wound with NaCl 72.88 in the statistical test the p value is 0,000.Conclusions: There was a significant influence between the number of colony Staphylococcus in the control group and the intervention group.

Background and Purpose: One of the micro-vascular complications in patients with diabetes mellitus is a diabetic ulcer. One of he goals of care in diabetic ulcers is to reduce infection in the wound area by doing a cleansing method particularly utilizing irrigation techniques. Irrigation technique aims to reduce the number of bacteria in the wound, so that the inflammatory process is expected to be more quickly achieved. Many diabetic ulcer care-related research but researches on irrigation tools on diabetic ulcers are very minimal. This study aims to determine the effect of Modern Wound Irrigation Device (MWID) to decrease the amount of bacteria on patients with diabetic ulcers. Method: This study was utilized quasi-experimental post test only with control group design. A total of 20 respondents in this study were divided into 10 respondents for intervention group that was given wound care using MWID. 10 respondents as control group that was given manual irrigation wound care. Results: The average number of bacteria in intervention group is 30,4x109 colonies/ml, while the average number of bacteria for control group is 59x109 colonies/ml. Analysis with independent t test was found that there is no significant difference between the average number of bacteria on the intervention and control groups with p value of (0.001 < 0.005). Conclusion and recommendation: the use of MWID for current wound irrigation is proven can reduce the amount of bacteria on diabetic ulcers as compared with manual irrigation technique. Further developmental researches utilize MWID tool is to modify the output of irrigation to reduce anaerobic bacteria for gangrene wound.Key words: Diabetic Ulcer, Wound irrigation, amount of bacteria

Diabetic ulcer is a further complication of the presence of diabetic ulcers that are not handled properly. Gangren ulcers are very difficult to cure. One of them is the characteristic of gangrene wounds that have a hollow (hard) that is very difficult to do cleansing. In addition, the types of bacteria that are in gangrene are anaerobic bacteria that are difficult to treat with antibiotics. The number of bacteria will also be proportional to the number of production of pus. One of the most possible actions is to irrigate the wound tunnel so that the wound is clean and anaerobic bacteria are reduced. The modern wound irrigation device, which is one of the developments of existing irrigation devices, is expected to be able to reach gangrenous wound tunnels with a modified form of output. This study aimed to determine the effect of modification of the output of the modern wound irrigation device (MWID) on the number of bacteria in diabetic gangrenous ulcer sufferers. The method used in this study was quasi-experimental without a control group. The intervention group was given wound irrigation using a modified MWID tool. The instrument was used to determine exudate production using the observation sheet Leg Ulcer Measurement Tool (LUMT). The results of the analysis by the Mc Nemar test showed that p value 0.67 (p value> 0.05) means that there is no difference in the amount of exudate production with modification of the MWID output. Further research is needed regarding the effect of irrigation angle on the number of bacteria in diabetic ulcers.

Chronic kidney failure is a public health problem throughout the world, and the number of sufferers is increasing. Chronic kidney failure can cause clinical symptoms in various body systems, one of which is a disorder in the skin that becomes dry (uremic). This study aimed to examine the effect of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) on the skin moisture among uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test equivalent control group. The study was conducted at the Regional General Hospital, Dr. RM. Djoelham Binjai. The study population was 80 people, divided into 2 sample groups of 40 people each. The results showed that there was a significant effect of skin moisture on the intervention group before and after being given Virgin Coconut Oil, p = 0.000<0.05; There was a significant effect of skin moisture in the control group before and after lotion (post-test), p = 0.000<0.05. There is no need for special emulsions such as VCO to moisturize the skin in uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis because using ordinary lotions can moisturize the skin. It must be used regularly, twice a day after bathing. The lotion used must also be a lotion that does not contain mercury and chemicals that can harm the skin. To increase the skin's moisture becomes normal, giving lotion is better than VCO because by providing lotion, more skin becomes normal, while using VCO, the skin becomes more oily. It is recommended to health workers (doctors, nurses) to practice correctly and appropriately how to administer Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) to uremic patients undergoing hemodialysis to be done at home

Fatigue is a widespread clinical complaint among adults with type 2 diabetes. Fluctuating glucose levels can cause fatigue. Several factors are associated with fatigue in diabetic patients, including physiological factors such as hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, psychological factors such as depression associated with diabetes. Progressive muscle relaxation is a procedure to get relaxation in the muscles through two steps, namely by applying tension to a muscle group and stopping the tension then focusing on how the muscle relaxes, feeling the sensation of relaxation and fatigue is reduced. The aim of this study was to identify the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue symptoms in type II DM clients in 15 control groups and 15 intervention groups. The research method used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design approach, consisting of one treatment (in the intervention group) and a control group. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis using t-independent and t-dependent tests. Wilcoxon test results in the intervention group and the control group showed a significant p-value of 0.002 (<0.05), meaning that there was a significant difference in fatigue symptoms in the intervention group before and after the intervention. This shows that there was a decrease in fatigue symptoms in the intervention group before and after combination OHO therapy and progressive muscle relaxation exercises (previously the average respondent in the intervention group experienced symptoms of severe fatigue, after intervention, the average value of fatigue symptoms turned into mild fatigue ). Conclusion: Progressive muscle relaxation combined with OHO therapy can reduce symptoms of fatigue compared to only OHO therapy.
