“…In conclusion, results of this study provide important insights into the knowledge, attitudes and practices of women with GDM in China regarding GDM and its management. We anticipate that these findings and those of other surveys 14,15,35 will facilitate the development and implementation of education and training programs to improve the self-management of GDM by women in China.…”

“…Despite the abundance of published studies discussing self-efficacy in women with GDM, the number of implemented measures that could significantly improve self-management practice is still limited. 14 , 15 Moreover, modifiable risk factors for GDM differ according to region and lifestyle, 3 , 5 suggesting the need to discuss specific barriers for adherence to nutrition- and exercise-based interventions among women in Asia.…”

Introduction Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels and changes in diet and lifestyle play important roles in the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled patients with GDM at Hangzhou Women’s Hospital, China, between September 1, 2022, and October 26, 2022. A questionnaire was designed that included the following dimensions: demographic/clinical information, knowledge, attitude and practice. Correlations between knowledge, attitude and practice scores were evaluated using Spearman correlation analysis. Factors associated with practice score ≥14/16 were identified using multivariate logistic regression. Results The analysis included 499 women with GDM and a mean age of 31.22±3.89 years. The average knowledge, attitude and practice score were 11.55±3.04, 34.23±4.06 and 10.7±2.87 points, respectively. Knowledge score was positively correlated with attitude score ( r =0.318, P <0.001) and practice score ( r =0.351, P <0.001); attitude and practice scores were also positively correlated ( r =0.209, P <0.001). Multivariate analysis identified higher knowledge score (odds ratio [OR], 1.138; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.042–1.244; P =0.004) and higher attitude score (OR, 1.137; 95% CI, 1.060–1.219; P <0.001) as independently associated with good practice (ie, practice score ≥14 points). Conclusion The results provide important insights into the knowledge, attitudes and practices of women with GDM in China regarding GDM and its management. These findings may facilitate the development and implementation of education and training programs to improve the self-management of GDM by women in China.

“…Strategies empowering self-care behavior among mothers with GDM led to increased adherence to diet, drug use, physical activity, and self-monitoring of blood glucose; increased glycemic control [22,23,44]; reduced rates of cesarean delivery and macrosomia [31]; reduced rate of newborn hospitalization [23]; and reduced anxiety [22]. Moreover, mothers with GDM reported the need for support from healthcare providers and families to engage in and adhere to self-care activities [1,12].…”

Background and purpose There is a lack of validated tools to assess adherence to gestational diabetes (GDM) management plan among women with GDM. This study aimed to translate the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activity (SDSCA) into Arabic, culturally adapt it, and test its psychometric properties among women with GDM. Methods A multiphase study was used to translate and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of SDSCA using the following steps: (1) cultural and linguistic validation; (2) content and face validity testing; (3) construct validity testing; and (4) internal validity testing. Nineghty pregnant women with GDM were recruited to meet the purpose of this study. Results The Arabic version of the adapted SDSCA tool revealed adequate content validity, satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74), and test-retest reliability (Pearson correlation coefficient = .67). Exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors that fit data satisfactory: diet, exercise, and blood glucose monitoring. Conclusions This study showed that the adapted Arabic SDSCA tool is an easy, valid, and reliable tool to assess pregnant women’s adherence to GDM management plan.

A BSTRACT Objective: The English version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) measure is the most often used self-reporting instrument assessing diabetes self-management. This study was aimed at translating English SDSCA into the Hindi version and validating and evaluating its psychometric properties. Methods: The Hindi version of SDSCA was developed based on the guidelines provided by the World Health Organization (2008) for translation and adaptation of tool. Following steps were adopted: (1) Cultural and linguistic validation, (2) content validity testing, (3) construct validity testing, and (4) internal validity testing. Sixty women diagnosed with GDM were selected for the purpose of this study. Results: The tool showed promising and satisfactory results. Of mention are the results related to Cronbach’s alpha (0.82). The exploratory factor analysis showed three factors that fit the data satisfactorily. Conclusions: This study provided evidence for the reliability and validity of the Hindi Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities instrument, which may be used in the future to assess diabetes self-management activities among the pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus among Hindi-speaking population.
