    abstract = {Based on the initial survey, it was known that
the number diabetic patients with gangrene at Dr. Pirngadi
General Hospital Medan in the last 5 years were as many
as 236 patients and the diabetic cases increase annually.
Gangrenous wound healing can be affected by diet,
physical exercise, wound care, insulin administration,
psychological and social factors. The study analyzed the
effect of diet, physical exercise, wound care, insulin
administration as well as psychological and social factors,
to KGD wound healing, wound size and time
decreases. The study was a quasi-experimental design
(quasi experiment), under the design of the separate
pretest-posttest-sample control group design, involving
two groups: the intervention group and the control group.
Nursing care has a significant role to gangrenous wound
healing in diabetic patients at Dr. Pirngadi General
Hospital Medan. This is indicated by the role or influence
of the sixth variables of nursing care consisting of diet,
physical exercise, wound care, insulin administration,
psychological factors, social factors and wound healing
with the value of the odds ratio >1. Based on the
multivariate analysis, the value of the role of nursing care
to the gangrenous wound healing in diabetic patients is at
0410×100% = 41.0%. Gangrenous wound nursing care in
patients with diabetes mellitus showed a significant effect
with a significance value of 0.001, less than the sig-α
(0.05). This means that the six independent variables
simultaneously bring significant influence on the
dependent variable (gangrenous wound healing). It is
recommended that further studies improve nursing care
services on gangrenous wound healing in diabetic
patients, especially with the provision of better diet and
exercise facilities so gangrenous wound healing in
diabetic patients can be improved.}
