Deteksi Dini Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) dengan Mengenali Suhu Kaki

Abstract

ABSTRAK Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) menjadi salah satu komplikasi negatif dari penyakit Diabetes Mellitus (DM) yang prevalensinya terus meningkat. DFU terjadi karena adanya gangguan persarafan, gangguan sirkulasi, dan infeksi pada tungkai bawah yang berakibat munculnya suatu kelainan. Lebih parahnya, sekitar 85% dari penyandang DM yang berisiko mengalami DFU harus dilakukan tindakan amputasi. Sebagai salah satu bentuk upaya pencegahan dilakukanlah deteksi dini DFU dengan mengenali suhu kaki. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk mendeteksi secara dini suhu kaki sebagai upaya pencegahan Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) penyandang DM dengan pemeriksaan kaki yang mudah dipahami dan diaplikasikan secara mandiri. Metode yang dilakukan pada kegiatan PKM ini adalah edukasi dan demonstrasi yang kemudian dilakukan pre dan post tes. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat didapatkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan terhadap deteksi dini DFU dengan mengenali suhu kaki. Pemberian edukasi dan demonstrasi deteksi dini DFU dengan mengenali suhu kaki dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat dan dapat menjadi salah satu upaya pencegahan DFU Kata Kunci: Diabetic Foot Ulcer, Diabetes Mellitus, Suhu Kaki ABSTRACT Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) is one of the negative complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), whose prevalence continues to increase. DFU occurs due to nerve disorders, circulation disorders, and infections in the lower limbs which result in the appearance of an abnormality. What's worse, around 85% of people with DM who are at risk of experiencing DFU have to undergo amputation. As a form of prevention effort, early detection of DFU is carried out by identifying foot temperature. This activity aims to detect early foot temperature as an effort to prevent Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU) for people with DM with a foot examination that is easy to understand and can be applied independently. the method used in this PKM activity is education and demonstration which is then carried out pre and post-tests. As a result of community service, it was found that there was an increase in knowledge regarding early detection of DFU by recognizing foot temperature. Providing education and demonstration of early detection of DFU by recognizing foot temperature can increase public knowledge and can be an effort to prevent DFU.
