Summary

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of cold application of 0.9% NaCl solution used during diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) care on the pain and comfort levels of patients. In this direction; - Cold application has no effect on pain and comfort levels in DFU care. - Cold application has an effect on pain and comfort levels in DFU care. Hypotheses were created. In order to reveal the effect of cold application, 0.9% NaCl was compared to the intervention group (+4ͦ C and +8ͦ C); NaCl ( sodium chloride) compared to the control group (+18ͦ C and +24ͦ C).
