Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan stres dengan penyembuhan ulkus diabetikum dalam konteks asuhan keperawatan pada pasien DM di Siloam Hospitals. Stres dinilai dengan skala Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale 21 (DASS21). Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan crossectional study. Jumlah sampel penelitian 76 responden terdiri teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu consecutive sampling. Analisis statistik yang digunakan yaitu uji Chi Square dan regresi logistik ganda.Hasil penelitian menunjukan adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara lamanya riwayat DM (p=0,022), adanya hubungan obesitas dengan penyembuhan ulkus diabetikum (p=0,036), tidak ada hubungan stres dengan penyembuhan ulkus diabetikum (p=0,574). Pasien perlu mendapat perawatan ulkus, pendidikan kesehatan, pemeriksaan kaki secara teratur, pasien harus mematuhi terhadap saran petugas kesehatan. Perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai kenyamanan pasien dalam melakukan aktivitas sehari-hari dengan menggunakan sepatu atau sendal khusus ulkus diabetikum.
