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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Diabetes Knowledge Scale

  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

  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.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In addition to routine physician check-ups, an SMS group was created for the individuals in the intervention group, and basic information messages for diabetes control were sent to this group at regular intervals. In addition, individuals asked questions via this group. At the end of the eight-week follow-up, the data collection forms were filled out again and the study was terminated.

Other: SMS Counseling

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

The same data collection forms were filled out at the first interview and eight weeks later by the pregnant women in the control group, and they continued to receive routine follow-ups.
