Abstract

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON TOPICAL INSULIN VERSUS newlineNORMAL SALINE DRESSIING ON WOUND HEALING AMONG newlineATIENT WITH DIABETIC FOOT ULCER IN SAVEETHA newlineMEDICAL COLLEGE AND HOSPITAL THANDALAM newlineABSTRACT newlineBack ground : Diabetic foot ulcer is as a foot affected by ulceration newlinethat associated with neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease of the lower newlinelimb in a patient with diabetes. The present study was aimed to compare the newlineeffect of topical insulin dressing and normal saline dressing in healing of newlinediabetic foot ulcer. Purpose: The purpose of current study was to comparing newlinethe topical insulin dressing and normal saline dressing among the patients newlinewith diabetic foot ulcer admitted in Saveetha Medical College and Hospital newline.Materials and methods : A true experimental research with pre and post test newlineexperimental group I and experimental group II was conducted in the host newlineinstitution of Saveetha Medical College And Hospitals. There were 60 newlinediabetic foot ulcer patients recruited using purposive sampling technique newlinebased on the inclusion criteria by using random sampling method , 30 in newlineexperimental group I and 30 in experimental group II . The experimental newlinegroup I is received Topical insulin dressing and experimental group II is newlinereceived normal saline dressing appplied daily for 14 days the post test was newlinedone on seventh day and post test II was done on fourteenth day by using newlineBATES JENSEN wound assessment scale . Results : The study results newlineconcluded that, the experimental group I topical insulin have significant newlinedifference in the level of wound healing with ANOVA test there is a newlinesignificant improvement in wound healing between post-test 1 and 2 at the newlinelevel of p lt0.001 among both Experimental group I and Experimental group newlineII .The post-test 2 mean score of wound healing among patient with diabetic newlinefoot ulcer in the topical insulin dressing was 28.67±4.66, the post-test mean newlinescore in normal saline dressing was 31.00±3.98.The mean difference is 2.333 newlinewith plt0.042 the above finding shows that there was significant
