One of the interventions to facilitate circulation is by therapy of foot soak with a temperature of 40 degrees. Purpose this research to determine the effect of temperature of warm water foot bath temperature 40℃ on peripheral blood circulation with Ankle Brachial Index in diabetes mellitus patients in health center 1 cilongok. This study uses a Quasi-experimental method with one group pretest-posttest approach. Sampling with random sampling technique and a total of 38 respondents with DM. Data was taken by observing ABI measurements before and after warm water foot soak with a temperature of 40℃. Analysis of the data using the Kruskal-wallis test with the Man-Whitney test. Based on the results of the Kruskal-wallis test p value of 0.001 (p value <0.05) there is a temperature effect of warm water foot soak on the peripheral blood circulation with ABI. Conclusion is warm water foot baths effectively improve peripheral blood circulation in DM patients.
