Abstract

Wound healing is a complex but essential physiological process that restores the skin’s structure after enduring injuries due to surgical procedures or accidents. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO), the prevalence of wound patients is 1,67 per 1000 people, with a rising prevalence in Indonesia. This process involves three stages which are the inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and remodeling phase. Many factors play a role when affecting the speed of wound healing in patients, one of which is nutrition. Literature reviews regarding the effects of nutrition specifically zinc, iron, and vitamin E are still limited, leading to this study to be conducted.
