Abstract

Introduction: Burn is a type of trauma that can cause distress, because there is damage and changes in the body's system, causing a variety of complex problems. Burns also have higher morbidity and mortality rates than other injuries. In traditional medicine, honey has been used to treat burns that occur on the skin. When rubbed on the burned area, honey will reduce pain and prevent blisters. Therefore, bee products such as bee pollen thought to have the same effect as honey to treat burns. Method: The purpose of this study is to look at bee keeping products more effectively between honey and bee pollen in treating burns. The methode used in this experimental research is randomized designs post test only control group using experimental animals which were divided into two study groups. Animals were injured on the back, and the handling is done on the burn after some time. Apply honey for one group of mice and bee pollen on the other group of mice which suffered from burns until the wounds are fully covered. Apply daily for 14 days. Measuring the diameter of the wound is done every day in centimeters. The data was processed using the Mann-Whitney U test hypotheses. Result: The results showed a mean diameter of wound repair in the group treated with honey is 0,311 centimeters, and the mean diameter of wound repair in the group treated with bee pollen is 0.333 centimeters. Results from the hypothesis test obtained, p value is 0.884 (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The hypothesis test results show that there is no significant difference in the effectiveness of honey and beepollen in treating burns
