Everybody have risk to be the diabetic people. The key is how we can control our lifestyle and doing the good activities forour body. So that was the reason we were interested in developing a new system for preventing the diabetic wound. Ourgroup members are Anisa Hidayah, ErawatiWerdiningsih, and Nuzul Sri Hertanti. ‘Get the chance and do the best’ is our goal.
We were followed the national scientific paper competition. The selection was started with applied a scientific paper and some administrations to the committee from UNSOED (UniversitasJenderalSoedirman) Purwokerto. The major theme of this competition was Modern Wound Care. We sent a paper “DELiMaSaranaPenyelamatanuntuk Si Manis”. We and our lecturer IbuHaryaniS.Kp., M.Kes,developed a screening tool to detect diabetic foot wound for diabetic people. That was a surprised that after waited for some days, our group and 2 others groups from UGM was passed the scientific paper selection. We were invited to give presentation in UNSOED.
Only one week we prepare the presentation. Nine students went to Purwokerto with such a huge spirit as part of UGM. It was on 13 th October 2012, 10 groups from various institutions had to present their paper in front of 3 juries.We were given 7 minutes to present our paper, and 3 minutes for discussion with the judges. All of questions from juries had been answered well. At the end of event it was the announcement of the 5th best papers. Our group was appointed as the 5th best from 10 other groups. We had to stay one night more in Purwokerto, because the winner would be announced on the next day.
14th October 2012, we got free ticket to attend the Seminar about Modern Wound Care. That was really excited, about the speaker, the material, and the discussion. We can watch how to give wound care to real people’s wound. On the last moment, the host was announced the winner. Our group from DELiMa paper was the 3rd winner on this competition. The 1st were from Nursing student’s UNSOED and 2nd was from physician student’s UNSOED. That moment was made us very happy. We can bring the UGM institution in front of many students from different area with us.
After the competition, we didn’t stop our journey on that moment. We have big trigger to develop our skills on writing a paper. From this competition, we can get new friends from other studies, know more about the diabetic problems, we got more experience. There are some ideas from students which can solve the health problems, especially in Indonesia. It would be great if their ideas can be implemented well. And also, we will find another chance to do our best again. We hope that this competition is not only a memorable, but also it can be a trigger for all students to develop their skills. Everybody can reach their dreams, if the chance was came, and you want tooptimize your spirit.
