The Use of Social Media Platform to Continuously Support Pregnant Women

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To assess the efficacy of utilizing a social media platform for dietary and lifestyle management in improving acceptance and blood glucose control in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), compared to the control group under usual care. Specifically, i. To measure the participants' acceptability and satisfaction levels of receiving intervention through the social media platform. ii. To measure the feasibility of using the social media platform to provide GDM support through participants' engagement levels and feedback questionnaire. iii. To measure the efficacy of using the social media platform to manage emotional responses in women with GDM. iv. To measure the efficacy of using the social media platform to optimize glycemic control in women with GDM.

Clinical Trial Description

Engaging pregnant women with GDM in dietary management over the gestation has been challenging. This pilot trial aims to assess the efficacy of utilizing a social media platform for dietary and lifestyle management in improving acceptance and blood glucose control among patients with GDM, compared to a control group receiving usual care. The study will employ a randomized controlled trial design, with GDM patients from KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) randomly assigned to either the usual care (control; n=40) or to additional support via a dedicated social media platform for a period of 1 month, where a moderator will be available to address patients' queries and share relevant educational resources (intervention; n=40). Outcome measures include acceptance, satisfaction, and engagement levels, emotional well-being as well as the percentage achievement of time-in-range glucose readings for GDM patients. The independent t-test will be used to compare the outcome measures between groups. The findings from this study will provide valuable insights into the feasibility and efficacy of incorporating digital platforms into routine dietary counselling practices for improved patient outcomes and enhanced management of GDM. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
