SMS Counseling on Gestational Diabetes
- Conditions
- Gestational Diabetes
- Registration Number
- NCT06436443
- Lead Sponsor
- Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
- Brief Summary
The use of technology-based education and counseling services in the self-management of gestational diabetes contributes to better control of blood sugar levels, motivation and increased self-efficacy in women. Therefore, this study was planned as interventional research to determine the effect of SMS counseling given to individuals with gestational diabetes on self-efficacy and knowledge levels. This study was conducted descriptively with 95 patients with gestational diabetes who were treated in the endocrine service of a university hospital between August 15, 2021 and April 24, 2022. Personal information form created by the researchers, The Self-Efficacy Scale in Gestational Diabetes, and Diabetes Knowledge Scale were used to collect data.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Diabetes Knowledge Scale 5 Minute This scale was first developed by Dunn et al.13 to measure diabetes knowledge. Afterward, it was developed by Carolan et al. to examine three effect domains: pregnant women's GDM knowledge, nutritional values, and GDM self-management principles. The scale consists of 18 questions. Cronbach's alpha value of the total scale was determined as 0.654.
The Self-Efficacy Scale in Gestational Diabetes 5 minute This is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items developed by Polat and Avdal in 2019 to evaluate the self-efficacy levels of individuals with gestational diabetes. It consists of four sub-dimensions: "diet-weight management"; "complication measures"; "compliance with nutrition education"; "medical therapy practices". As the total score on the scale increases, the level of self-efficacy increases, as well. Cronbach's alpha value of the total scale was determined as 0.654.
