Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: Background: Wound cleansing is crucial in wound healing, depending on the method and type of solution used. Hypochlorous Acid is one of the wound irrigation options that can be applied in this process. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of wound irrigation using Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) on diabetic foot wound healing. Methods: This quantitative research employs a quasi-experimental design, involving 13 diabetic foot wound patients selected through total sampling. Interventions were conducted over five weeks, totaling ten sessions. The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool (BJWAT) was utilized to assess wound healing, and data were analyzed using SPSS 25, applying paired T-tests to evaluate pre-and post-intervention differences. Results: A statistically significant improvement in diabetic foot wound healing was observed, marked by a p-value = 0.000, highlighting the potential of HOCL in promoting effective wound healing. Conclusion: HOCL wound irrigation significantly enhances diabetic foot wound healing
