Ulcers state were measured with Pressure Ulcer Scale [PUSH] at the beginning of hospitalization and then weekly for 5 weeks. After intervention by comparing PUSH score in two groups, were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS. The results showed that the two groups were statistically similar with regard to baseline and wound characteristics. After 5 weeks of treatment, patients who were treated by honey dressing had similar PUSH tool scores with patients that were treated with Hydrocolloid dressing. However, recovery in group with honey dressing was faster, but there was not any significant difference. Results showed that healing among patients that were treated with honey dressing were statistically similar with the comparison group.
