Abstract
Infection is a common complication in diabetic foot ulcer that contribute to the improvement of morbidity and mortality. It is necessary to create wound care innovations. Psidium Guajava Lynn is presumed to help wound healing through FIS exudation inhibition in a way of α-PDGF suppression by MMP-9’s binding of zinc. This study aimed to determine the effect of Psidium guajava L. on wound regeneration. This was a quasy experiment study with pre and post-test design with controlled group. 34 Subjects were accidentaly selected in this study. Wound scoring of regeneration was evaluated every three days with Bates-Jensen wound assessment. Each subject in group of intervention took psydium guajava lynn to soaked and primary dressed the ulcer every three days. After 10 times, repeat wound scoring were taken. No adverse were reported during the trial. The data were analyzed using Mann Whitney U with significance level of a≤ 0.05. This study found a significant greater reduction on wound scores in intervention group (p=0.048). This study found that Psidium guajava Lynn soaking therapy could stimulate infective diabetic wound regeneration
