Introduction: Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the complications observed in patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (DM). The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there were 1.3 million deaths due to diabetes mellitus, while according to the Ministry of Health, the prevalence of diabetes in Indonesia reached 10.9% in 2019 and increased to 11.7% in 2023. One effective treatment method is modern dressing with antimicrobials, which helps inhibit bacterial growth and accelerate wound healing. Objectives: To analyse the relationship between the use of antimicrobial dressings and the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers among patients at Griya Sehat Wocare Bogor. Methods: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The sample size comprised 30 patients with diabetic foot ulcers who received treatment at Griya Wocare Bogor. Data were collected using the Winner Scale assessment sheet and analysed using the Chi-square statistical test. Results: The results showed that the majority of patients used silver antimicrobial dressings. Statistical analysis indicated a significant relationship between the use of antimicrobial dressings and the healing process of diabetic foot ulcers, as demonstrated by the Chi-square test results (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Antimicrobial dressings are associated with accelerated healing of diabetic foot wounds. Therefore, this method is recommended as a standard of care for diabetic foot wounds to reduce the risk of further complications.
