[PMID: 39170276 PMCID: PMC11336641 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Context Decision-making behavior pertains to the cognitive process where a patient evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of health-related decisions, taking into account their personal preferences, values, and cognitive factors. This behavior is central to the successful implementation of clinical care. Effective decision-making enhances an individual's or organization's response to challenges and opportunities, improves problem-solving capabilities, reduces risks and uncertainties, and facilitates the attainment of desired outcomes. Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the current status of dietary choice decision-making in gestational diabetes mellitus and to analyze its influencing factors, and then to find the determining factors and give targeted nursing interventions in order to improve the dietary decision-making ability of gestational diabetes mellitus patients and further standardize their dietary patterns. Methods A cross-sectional research design was employed in this study. Convenience sampling was utilized to survey 539 GDM patients attending the obstetrics outpatient clinic and obstetrics ward of a tertiary hospital in Wuxi City, China, from March 2023 to July 2023. The survey instruments used were the General Information Questionnaire, the Motivation to Protect Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Dietary Intake Questionnaire, and the Conflict in Decision-Making Scale. Results The findings were derived from data collected from 539 GDM cases. The participants' ages ranged from 19 to 52 years, with a mean age of 31.53 ± 4.37 years. The scores for GDM disease perceived susceptibility were 15.200 ± 3.481, disease perceived severity 18.455 ± 4.670, internal reward 13.226 ± 4.275, external reward 8.278 ± 2.923, response efficacy 15.078 ± 3.889, self-efficacy 18.952 ± 4.800, cost of response 14.540 ± 5.227, and decision conflict questionnaire score 70.96 ± 11.78. Conclusions The study revealed that GDM patients exhibited a moderate level of decision-making dilemma. Notably, the patients' perceived susceptibility and severity of the disease, along with their response efficacy and self-efficacy, positively influenced their dietary decision-making abilities. Specifically, enhancing patients' awareness of their condition and boosting their self-efficacy significantly improved their decision-making capabilities. Conversely, internal and external rewards, as well as the cost of response, exerted a negative impact on GDM patients' decision-making abilities. Therefore, it is imperative to mitigate potential barriers in GDM patients' dietary intake behaviors, thereby enhancing their decision-making skills related to dietary intake.

Midwifery 2024; 138:104141. [PMID: 39178483 DOI: 10.1016/j.midw.2024.104141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus is a common complication during pregnancy, and its prevalence rates have increased dramatically in recent years. Treatment of gestational diabetes requires the active self-management, however, this can be challenging. Understanding the barriers and facilitators of adherence to self-management recommendations is essential for designing effective interventions. AIM To identify and synthesize barriers and facilitators to self-management of gestational diabetes reported by pregnant women. METHODS This was a mixed-methods systematic review, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies. A literature search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and the Web of Science). Eligible studies explored the barriers and/or facilitators, experiences and/or perceptions to engage in self-management in women with gestational diabetes. The Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour model was used to classify barriers and facilitators affecting self-management. RESULTS Thirty-six studies (23 qualitative, 11 quantitative, and 2 mixed-methods) met the inclusion criteria. We identified barriers and facilitators relating to capability (e.g., physical discomforts and constraints; lack of knowledge of GDM and self-management behaviours; forgetfulness), opportunity (e.g., limited education and resources; social support from family, friends, and peer groups; conflict with existing lifestyles or cultural norms), and motivation (e.g., perceived negative consequence of self-management behaviours or not perceived benefits; negative emotion; concern the health of the baby). CONCLUSION In this study, we identified the barriers and facilitators of self-management in women with gestational diabetes, which were explained by relevant theoretical models. Interventions should be developed with full consideration of these findings to ensure that pregnant women have the correct knowledge and confidence to self-manage their complications.

Nutrients 2024; 16:1553. [PMID: 38892487 PMCID: PMC11174494 DOI: 10.3390/nu16111553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
To evaluate perinatal outcomes and risk factors for large for gestational age (LGA; birth weight over 90 percentile) in gestational diabetes diagnosed before 24 gestational weeks and treated with diet therapy alone until delivery (Diet Early gestational diabetes mellitus (Diet Early GDM)), we assessed the maternal characteristics and perinatal outcomes of patients with early GDM (n = 309) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n = 309) at Keio University Hospital. The gestational weight gain (GWG) expected at 40 weeks was significantly lower in the Diet Early GDM group than in the NGT group. The Diet Early GDM group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of low birth weight (<2500 g) and higher Apgar score at 5 min than the NGT group. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the pre-pregnancy body mass index and GWG expected at 40 weeks were significantly associated with LGA for Diet Early GDM. No differences were observed in random plasma glucose levels in the first trimester, 75 g oral glucose tolerance test values, and initial increase or subsequent decrease between the two groups. Dietary early GDM did not exhibit a worse prognosis than NGT. To prevent LGA, it might be important to control maternal body weight not only during pregnancy but also before conception.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Concurrent diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus and mental disorders is associated with adverse outcomes for mother and child, but there is limited information about prevalence or which women are at risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was a prospective cohort study of women with gestational diabetes from 10 hospitals in New Zealand who reported anxiety (6-item Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale) and health-related quality of life (36-Item Short-Form General Health Survey) at time of gestational diabetes diagnosis (baseline), 36 weeks' gestation, and 6 months postpartum. Potential predictors were assessed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Among 414 respondents, 17% reported anxiety, 16% vulnerability to depression and 27% poor mental health-related quality of life at time of gestational diabetes diagnosis. At 36 weeks' gestation, prevalence decreased for vulnerability to depression (8%) and poor mental health-related quality of life (20%). Younger maternal age, Pacific ethnicity, previous history of gestational diabetes, and older gestational age at time of gestational diabetes diagnosis were associated with poorer mental health outcomes. At 6 months postpartum the prevalence of mental disorders did not differ from in late pregnancy and they were associated with later gestational age at time of gestational diabetes diagnosis and elevated 2-hour postprandial glucose concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Perinatal mental disorders are common at time of diagnosis among women with gestational diabetes in New Zealand and had decreased by late pregnancy and at 6 months after birth. These disorders are more common among women with specific risk factors who may therefore benefit from additional support.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined the predictors, the barriers, and the motivating factors of adherence to the gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) management plan among Arab pregnant women with GDM. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Antenatal Clinics of three major tertiary hospitals in Oman. Total of 164 Arab pregnant women with GDM were recruited using a convenience sampling technique. The measurement scales included Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire- Revised, Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scales, and Social Support Survey. Multiple-choice questions were used to assess barriers to and motivators of adherence. The analytical tools included multiple linear regression and descriptive statistics. RESULTS Findings from stepwise regression analysis revealed three models with three significant predictors, including self-efficacy, previous history of GDM, and the type of GDM management. The major barriers to adherence were family, especially kids' responsibilities, time constraints, home responsibilities, and working status. Moreover, participants indicated their concern about maternal and neonatal GDM-related complications and husband encouragement as the main motivating factors for adherence. CONCLUSIONS and Clinical Relevance: Our findings suggest that antenatal healthcare providers should implement strategies that enhance self-efficacy and engage families in health education programs. The study also recommends collaboration between health policy makers in the Ministries of Health, Consumer Protection Agency, and the Ministries of Municipality to ensure the availability of healthy food choices in the public areas. Additionally, flexible working conditions and an environment conducive to a healthy and active lifestyle should be made available to pregnant women with GDM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personalized dietary behavioral interventions could be enhanced by understanding factors accounting for individual variability in dietary decisions. OBJECTIVE This study was a secondary analysis of the Smart Cart randomized controlled trial to determine whether participant characteristics predicted high responsiveness to personalized grocery incentives for purchasing healthy food. METHODS This secondary analysis of a 9-mo crossover study included 192 regular shoppers (86%) from a Rhode Island supermarket. To analyze whether health, behavioral, and/or sociodemographic characteristics predicted responsiveness to a personalized grocery incentive intervention, participants were divided into 3 categories [high (n = 47), moderate (n = 50), and unresponsive (n = 95)] based on percentage changes in their Grocery Purchase Quality Index scores during the intervention versus control period calculated from sales data. We tested whether participant characteristics, including individual, household, and intervention-related factors, differed across responsiveness groups using ANOVA and whether they predicted the likelihood of being high responsive versus unresponsive or moderate responsive using logistic regression. RESULTS Participants had a mean (SD) age of 56.0 (13.8) y and were 89% female. Education, self-reported BMI, income, diet-related medical condition, food insecurity, cooking adequacy, and value consciousness differed across responsiveness categories (P < 0.1). High versus moderate and unresponsive participants increased their percentage of spending on targeted foods (P < 0.0001) and purchased fewer unique items (P = 0.01). In multinomial adjusted models, the odds of being high versus unresponsive or moderate responsive were lower for participants with a BMI (in kg/m2) <25 versus ≥25 (OR: 0.41; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.90) and higher with a diet-related medical condition present (OR: 3.75; 95% CI: 1.20, 11.8). Other characteristics were not associated with responsiveness. CONCLUSIONS Findings demonstrated that a BMI ≥25 and having a diet-related medical condition within the household predicted high responsiveness to a personalized grocery purchasing intervention, suggesting that personalized dietary interventions may be particularly effective for households with higher health risk. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03748056.

Abstract
Diet is thought to play a role in the development and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Dietary guidelines provide practical recommendations for achieving nutrient requirements and mitigating the risk of chronic disease. The aim of this study was to describe the adherence to dietary guidelines by women with and without GDM and determine whether adherence is associated with the development of GDM. Adherence to Ministry of Health food group recommendations was assessed in 5391 pregnant women participating in the Growing Up in New Zealand study. A food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) administered during pregnancy provided dietary data. The presence of GDM was determined using diagnostic coding in clinical data and blood glucose results. A quarter of women did not meet any food group recommendations. There were no significant differences in the number of food group targets met by women with or those without GDM. Meeting food group recommendations was not associated with odds of having GDM in adjusted analyses. This study found adherence to dietary recommendations is poor in both women with and without GDM and no association between adherence to food group recommendations and the development of GDM. Greater support is required to assist women to achieve food and nutrition recommendations.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is managed by dietary advice, but limited evidence exists about the impact of adherence on health. We assessed whether adherence to the New Zealand Ministry of Health dietary recommendations is associated with maternal and infant health in women with GDM. Data from 313 women with GDM were used. Adherence to food-related recommendations was scored from 0 (no adherence) to 10 (adhered to all recommendations) and analysed in tertile groups (high, moderate, low adherence). Adherence to visiting a dietitian and appropriate weight gain were assessed as yes or no. Chi-square, ANOVA, and odds ratios were used to compare groups. High dietary adherence compared to low adherence was associated with reduced oral hypoglycaemic and insulin use (OR = 0.55, CI = 0.30–1.00). Visiting a dietitian compared to not was associated with increased oral hypoglycaemic and insulin use (OR = 2.96, CI = 1.12–7.80), decreased odds of a large-for-gestational-age infant (OR = 0.32, CI = 0.14–0.73) and neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia (OR = 0.27, CI = 0.08–0.95). Greater than recommended compared with recommended weight gain was associated with increased oral hypoglycaemic and insulin use (OR = 2.51, CI = 1.26–5.01), while lower than recommended weight gain was associated with decreased postpartum haemorrhage (OR = 0.45, CI = 0.23–0.91) and increased breastfeeding (OR = 1.96, CI = 1.04–3.70). Adherence to dietary recommendations for women with GDM likely improves health outcomes.

Diet and Pre-Intervention Washout Modifies the Effects of Probiotics on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13093045.

Abstract
Dynamic interactions among gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), gut microbiota, inflammation, oxidative stress, and probiotics are increasingly acknowledged. This meta-analysis aimed to summarize the effects of probiotics in GDM, focusing on lifestyle intervention and pre-intervention washout, in addition to metabolic, inflammation, oxidative stress, and pregnancy outcomes. Three electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, and CENTRAL) were searched from inception until October 2020. A meta-analysis was performed, and the effect sizes were reported as either mean differences or odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Altogether, 10 randomized controlled trials enrolling 594 participants were included. The meta-analysis indicated that probiotics supplementation effectively reduced fasting plasma glucose by 3.10 mg/dL, and subgroup analyses suggested that the duration of intervention, number of species, pre-intervention washout period, and dietary intervention may determine the effects of probiotics. Probiotics also reduced the level of inflammatory markers (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and malondialdehyde), incidence of macrosomia, and newborn hospitalization. In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that probiotics may have positive effects on metabolic, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neonatal outcomes in women with GDM. Additionally, diet and pre-intervention washout may modify the effects of probiotics. Future studies are warranted on a larger scale to ascertain the clinical significance.
