Metode : Desain penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pre eksperimental dengan the one group pretest postest. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 20 responden dengan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling. Instrumen penelitian ini menggunakan lembar observasi sebelum diberikan VCO (pre test) dan sesudah diberikan VCO (post test). Data analisis menggunakan uji korelasi Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. Hasil : Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada integritas kulit sebelum diberikan VCO memiliki hasil median 10.00 dengan standar deviasi 0.688 dengan nilai minimum 8 dan maksimum 10. Sedangkan median integritas kulit sesudah diberikan VCO yaitu 12.00 dengan standar deviasi 0.533 dan nilai minimum 11 serta nilai maksimum 13. Sehingga didapatkan hasil uji Wilxocon Sign rank test didapatkan nilai p-value 0.000. Dimana nilai p=

Background. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can be called as a complex and chronic disease in which DM is one of the non-communicable diseases; yet, urgently needs continuous medical treatment to reduce the risk of complications. In diabetic patients, they must maintain skin moisture to prevent wounds through skin care, the solution that can be done to prevent it is to use Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). Aim. To determine the effect of VCO administration on the changes in skin integrity in diabetic patients. Method. The study employed pre-experimental with one group pre-test and post-test design. There were 20 respondents recruited as the sample through simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using observation sheet before and after being given VCO. The data analyzed using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank. Finding. The findings showed that the integrity of the skin before VCO was given had median result of 10.00 with standard deviation of 0.688 and the minimum score was 8 and maximum was 10. Meanwhile, the median skin integrity after being given VCO was 12.00 with standard deviation 0.533 and the minimum score was 11 and maximum score was 13. Furthermore, the results of the Wilxocon Sign rank test were obtained p-value of 0.000. It can be indicated that there was an effect of VCO administration on the changes in skin integrity in diabetic patients. Conclusion. The significant difference in skin integrity in this study was greatly influenced by the administration of VCO in diabetic patients at Public Health Center 1 South Denpasar.
