“…Numerous studies on pregnant women's knowledge about GDM have outlined certain lapses. [9][10][11][12][13] They have all confirmed that women with diagnosed GDM needed such information and adequate education on the treatment, control, possible complications and further T2DM prevention. Education is a warrant for the future.…”

Background: Written health educational materials are an integral part of the treatment process. Because of the constantly increasing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) global rate, pregnant women require accessible, easy-to-understand and evidence-based medical information about this pregnancy complication. Aim: To adapt and elaborate printed educational materials on GDM and to evaluate the usefulness of the produced training materials and pregnant women’s satisfaction. Materials and methods: The present study implemented a methodological approach covering three phases: (1) systematic literature review; (2) compilation of printed educational materials for pregnant women with GDM; (3) evaluation of the usefulness and satisfaction with the produced educational materials through a focus group consisting of pregnant women. A seven-item self-administered feedback questionnaire was adopted for evaluation of patient satisfaction after the use of educational materials. Results: An educational manual was developed in compliance with the main requirements for effectiveness of educational materials referring to content, structure, language, layout and illustrations. The usefulness of the educational manual and patient satisfaction were evaluated by a sample group of 20 women with GDM. Approximately 95% agreed or strongly agreed that the information in the educational manual was useful. The patients’ assessment of the understanding and readability of the written materials showed a satisfaction rate of 85%. The overall assessment for the educational materials was very high - excellent (65%), very good (30%) and good (5%). Conclusion: The provision of educational materials on GDM can enhance pregnant women’s health literacy as well as their responsibility, motivation and attitude to their personal health.
