Role Of Nanomedicine In Wound Healing Among Diabetic And Non-Diabetic Patients In KSA: A KAP Study

Abstract

Background: A skin wound is caused by the integrity of the epidermal layer breaking down. A wound is any tissue damage that results in a disturbance of anatomical integrity and functional loss. Skin healing is essentially what wound healing entails. After an epidermal layer damage, wound healing starts right away and may take years. The concept of nanomedicine has evolved beyond its previous definition as a medication delivery mechanism, since nanomaterials have the potential to function as active therapeutic ingredients. These days, radiotherapy's effectiveness is restricted by the amount of energy that may be safely given to the patient is decreased by the tolerance of normal tissues next to the tumor.

An entirely new profile of material-cell biology interactions has been produced by nanotechnologies. Methods: To gain insight into the KAP on nanomedicine in wound healing among Saudi Arabian population, the research study deployed a cross-sectional survey. The questionnaire was administered in English. General parameters like the region of residence, age, gender, and work status were gathered for the metrics. For the purpose of analysing the data, the imported questionnaires were loaded into SPSS, the statistical package for the social sciences. Results: No Significant correlation exist between Gender and KAP factor. Knowledge domain (Male: P= 0.138, x2 =1.888, Female: P= 0.534, x2 = 1.768).  Mean score for responses were 48.2%. Score above 48.2% were considered to be good practice. Among non-diabetic population increased awareness on nanomedicines in wound healing was observed in the year 2022. Conclusion: To gather broad information about public health awareness on nanomedicines, the KAP survey is helpful. In light of the study's findings, we draw the conclusion that training health and human services personnel to implement gender-based initiatives centred on nanomedicines in wound healing is essential.
