neuropathy, vascular insufficiency and infection. Aggressive therapy for diabetic gangrene is
needed so that leg amputation can be avoided, one of which is treating local wounds in the leg
area using the infrared method. Research. Method: Descriptive analytic with a cross sectional
approach was used in this research. The research respondents were 30 patients who
underwent infrared treatment at the Surabaya Wound Care Home in Sidoarjo. The aim of this
study was to determine the factors that influence compliance with infrared therapy. Result &
Analysis : The research results showed that 18 respondents (60%) complied and 12
respondents (40%) did not comply, mean: 35.36 and standard deviation: 4.94. Discussion :
Respondents who did not comply with infrared therapy were influenced by: the perceived
benefits of the wound healing process were not felt enough, the length of the wound healing
process, feelings of laziness caused respondents not to comply with recommendations,
wounds that improved caused respondents to stop therapy.
