Efektivitas Dressing Madu dengan Dressing D-Glukosa Monohydrate Terhaadap Waktu Penyembuhan luka pada

Wounds are damage to the epidermal layer or deeper due to pathophysiological changes which are the main origin of the wound. Nutrition is one of the factors that influence the wound healing process. Carbohydrates are nutrients that cells use as energy in the wound healing process. Alternative dressings that are classified as carbohydrates were developed to find more effective dressings in the wound healing process, including the use of d-glucose monohydrate and honey. This study aims to evaluate the difference in effectiveness between dressings using honey and d-glucose monohydrate dressings. The t-dependent test (paired sample t test) was used to determine the effectiveness of each dressing. The honey dressing obtained a t value of 5.547 (p = 0.001 <0.05) while the d-glucose monohydrate dressing obtained a t value of 4.264 (p = 0.003 <0.05). This means that giving D-glucose monohydrate and honey effectively accelerates wound healing. The average wound healing time using honey is 4.89, while the speed of wound healing using glucose monohydrate is 3.89. These results indicate that the administration of D-glucose monohydrate is faster in reducing the surface area of the wound compared to honey dressings.
