Abstract
Background: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common problems during pregnancy. To reduce this disease, patients must intervene actively in its control. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the self-management program based on the five-A model on the self-efficacy of women with gestational diabetes referred to the diabetes center of Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj in 2022.
Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted on 60 eligible pregnant women referred to the diabetes center of Tohid Hospital in Sanandaj. Information was collected using demographic and midwifery profile forms and a self-efficacy questionnaire related to diabetic patients before and after the intervention. Participants were selected as available and were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. For the intervention group, four training sessions were held for four weeks, while the control group received usual care.
Findings: Based on the results, the two groups had no statistically significant differences in demographic and obstetric variables. Before the intervention, the average self-efficacy score in the intervention and control groups was 33.4 ± 0.7 and 33.1 ± 0.4, respectively (P = 0.840). Finally, the average self-efficacy score at the end of the study was significantly higher in the intervention group (52 ± 0.15 vs. 33.9 ± 4.1, P = 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the self-management program implementation based on the five-A model in pregnant women with gestational diabetes could lead to an increase in self-efficacy, so it can be suggested to use this program in the treatment plan and pregnancy care protocol for pregnant women.
