Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled study aimed to examine the effect of web-based education related to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on women health management self-efficacy and maternal-fetal-neonatal results.
Detailed Description
Objective: To examine the effect of web-based education related to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on women health management self-efficacy and maternal-fetal-neonatal results. Design: Randomized controlled study. Patients: Thirty one pregnant women were included in the intervention group and thirty four pregnant women in the control group. Interventions: For 8 weeks, web-based education for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus was offered to pregnant women who diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus for the first time. The data were collected before web-based education, after web-based education and postpartum between 4-12 weeks at three different times. Control group was offered routine clinical procedure. Main Outcome Measures: health management self efficacy (primary outcomes), maternal-fetal-neonatal results (secondary outcome).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices levels in pregnant women with GDM
Time Frame: Change in Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices levels up to postpartum 12th week
Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale: Self Rated Abilities for Health Practices Scale: The 5-point Likert scale was adapted for Turkish version by Aypar Akbağ and Aluş Tokat (Aypar Akbağ and Aluş Tokat, 2021). The scale consists of 4 sub-dimensions: "Exercise"," Responsible Health Practices", "Psychological Well Being" and "Nutrition". (from 0 (not at all) to 4 (completely). The scale total-score ranged between 0 and 112, while subscale total-scores ranging from 0 to 28 points. The higher scores from the scale indicate higher self-efficacy levels for the health applications.
Secondary Outcomes
- Rate of maternal-fetal-neonatal complications in pregnant women with GDM(Change in rate of maternal, fetal and neonatal complications up to postpartum 12th week)
