The intervention group received wound treatment with Robusta coffee powder while the control group received conventional wound treatment for 2 weeks, during which also has been done assessment of wound scores with wound assessment Bates Jensen at the time of pretest and posttest. Characteristics of respondents between the intervention group and the homogeneous control did not differ significantly. The difference of mean score of pretest and posttest score in two groups with t test showed there was significant difference with p value <0,05, whereas for difference of mean score between group of intervention and control with independent t test showed there is difference significantly. There is influence of wound care using Robusta coffee powder as adjuvant to healing diabetic ulcers gangrene in Regional public hospital, Sekarwangi, Sukabumi.
