Vira Fatmawati Mawapres Nasional Poltekkes Kemenkes Kaltim 2023 - Indicator Sticker For Changing Diabetic Foot Wound Bandages

Hello good morning everyone
I am Vira Fatmawati, from departemen DIII PJJ Keperawatan at the Poltekkes kemenkes Kaltim. I am a representative from the campus to take part in the Mahasiswa Berprestasi Poltekkes Kemenkes Indonesia 2023.

Based on my experience as a 2nd year nursing student. Cases of diabetes mellitus or DM around me are still very many and most DM patients have complications, namely diabetic foot wounds. This wound is included in chronic wounds because it has a very long recovery time. The problem is that in the process of treating diabetic wounds there are still many who use conventional methods so that wound moisture and conditions for exudate production are not a concern even though the humidity of diabetic wounds obtained from natural exudate production greatly affects the process of wound proliferation. Dressings that are changed too often will make the condition of the wound dry and dressings that are changed too long will become too moist, of course this will hinder the wound healing process.

Based on this problem, I created an innovative product that functions to help nurses and patient families decide when to change wound dressings. This determination is based on the diameter of exudate production which is measured according to existing standards. My innovative product is called 'Stiker Indikator Ganti Perban Pada Luka Kaki Diabetes Melitus'
