Nursing interventions of topical application of betadine on diabetic foot ulcer healing among diabetics

An experimental study was conducted to find out the effectiveness of nursing interventions and topical application of betadine on diabetic foot ulcer healing among 100 diabetics by simple random sampling technique. The tool used to collect the data was Bates Jensen's wound assessment tool. This study revealed that, although the two groups (Betadine with nursing intervention and betadine dressing alone) samples had improvement in the healing process, yet betadine with nursing intervention had better healing effect than betadine dressing alone. Based on the results of the study, it is recommended that along with betadine dressing, nursing intervention should be used as diabetic foot ulcer management regimen
