Methods of Repair of Diabetic Foot Wounds, Their Impact on the Patient, and the Importance of Nursing Knowledge of this
Abstract
Background: With different wound repair techniques and nursing care effects needing study, diabetic foot ulcers provide major therapeutic difficulties.
Aim: To evaluate nursing care compliance impact on outcomes, and examine the efficacy of conservative treatment, surgical intervention, and biological therapies in diabetic foot wound repair.
Methods: Prospective cohort research comprising 265 diabetic patients with chronic foot ulcers ( Conservative: n=90, Surgical: n=90, Biological: n=87) at Primary Health Care Centers in Makkah. Measures of outcomes over 12 weeks include wound size reduction, healing time, DFU-QoL scores, and nursing care impact.
Results: were +40.5 QoL increase, 5.8-week mean healing time, 90% wound reduction (12 weeks), and 73% complete healing (8 weeks). High nursing compliance cut infection rates (8.5% vs 15.5% p<0.001) and healing time (5.2 vs 8.0 weeks p.0.001). Kaplan-Meier study revealed healing beginning: conservative (week 7.0), biological (week 6.2), surgical (week 5.0), p< 0.001).
Conclusion: surgical intervention shows better results of healing. Treatment efficacy in all modalities is substantially improved by high nursing compliance.
