Filter by:Since gestational diabetes carries the risk of serious complications for the mother and fetus, it is very important to follow up the pregnancy carefully and consciously. Home follow-up and prenatal care of these pregnant women, whose outpatient follow-up is continued without hospitalization, gains great importance. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effects of home midwifery care based on the continuous midwifery care model for pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes, on the attitudes and self-care of pregnant women. The universe of this research, which will be carried out in a randomized controlled experimental type, will consist of pregnant women who applied to Çukurova University Balcalı Hospital Health Application and Research Center Gynecology and Obstetrics Department Pregnancy Polyclinic. The sample number was calculated by the Sample Size Calculator analysis and it was planned to include 24 participants in the experimental group and 24 participants in the control group. Single-blind randomized assignment and block randomization will be performed to avoid selection bias. The research will be conducted in the form of pre-test and post-test. The pre-test will be applied at the first encounter before the midwifery training, and the post-test will be applied after the 6th training. Data; It will be collected with the Pregnant Introductory Form, Intention, Attitude and Behavior Scale in Gestational Diabetes and Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire. Statistical Program for Social Science 22 will be used in data analysis. The data will be analyzed with appropriate analysis methods after testing for normality. The main subject of this research is to improve maternal and fetal health by providing continuous midwifery care at home for pregnant women who are diagnosed with gestational diabetes and are in the risky pregnancies group. With individual and continuous midwifery care provided at home, the self-care of women is strengthened and the intention, behavior and attitude towards both pregnancy and the health problem she has experienced are positively affected, contributing to the reduction of possible complications and providing a cost-effective service reveals the importance and necessity of the research.
In this study, we aim to compare the blood levels of Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in gestational diabetes patients with normal pregnant women, to reveal the relationship between these markers, which are known to be effective on metabolic function, and gestational diabetes, and to contribute to future studies and possible treatment options.
There are studies in the literature showing that there is a decrease in the number of pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes and improvements in parameters related to maternal and infant health, with the education to be given to pregnant women at risk of gestational diabetes on preventive lifestyle practices such as healthy nutrition, physical exercise, and coping with stress. The aim of this study; For pregnant women at risk of gestational diabetes; education on preventive health behaviors; It is to determine the level of knowledge about GDM, risk perception and its effect on healthy living behaviors.
Primary Outcome:- GDM Diagnosis Secondary Outcomes:- Pre-eclampsia diagnosis. Cesarean section delivery due to labor dystocia defined as protracted or arrested progress of labor using labor partogram.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP), which is a common musculoskeletal problem of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is diagnosed at the end of the second trimester and at the beginning of the third trimester, occur in a parallel time period. The addition of hyperglycemia to the physiological changes in pregnancy stimulates a new series of cycles and contributes to inflammation, and it is predicted that the presence of GDM may trigger the pain intensity of PGP. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GDM on PGP symptom severity (pain).
Diabetic parturients planned for cesarean delivery will be recruited for the study. They will receive a fixed glucose dose to mimize the effects of fasting preoperatively and their blood glucose levels will be monitored.
This study aims to investigate the presence and characteristics of maternal diabetes as a risk factor in newborns with hearing loss. Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital anomalies among newborns. The newborn hearing screening program is important for early diagnosis in newborns with hearing loss.Gestational diabetes, on the other hand, is a metabolic disease that occurs during pregnancy and can cause complications as in other diabetes mellitus patients. Despite our knowledge of major complications, the effect of the hyperglycemic intrauterine environment on hearing outcomes has not been adequately studied. The inner ear does not store energy, so it has a particularly high sensitivity to altered blood sugar and insulin. Altered inner ear metabolism leads to auditory and balance disorders. There is no study in the literature comparing uncomplicated gestational diabetes and pregestational diabetes as a prenatal complication that poses a risk of hearing loss.
The purpose of this research is to examine the beneficial effects of regular, non-invasive, glucose (sugar) assessment on glucose (sugar) and blood pressure regulation during pregnancy to help in predicting gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
This randomized controlled clinical trial will assess the impact of intermittent fasting on the incidence of gestational DM in obese pregnant women in 3rd trimester and its effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes.
Black and White mothers have similar prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However Black mothers are more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) after a diagnosis of GDM. Both GDM and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increase her cardiovascular risk. The post-partum period is an ideal time to employ preventative strategies to alter her lifetime health-course. Unfortunately, Black mothers are less likely to follow up post-partum and less likely to be informed of the connection between pregnancy complications such as GDM and cardiovascular risks. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is the "gold standard" for lifestyle intervention to prevent T2DM in at risk patients. From the original trial of over 1,000 racially heterogenous participants, the DPP underperformed in Black women and can be improved upon. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial entitled: Mobilizing doulas to empower black women in post-partum diabetes prevention. This program will follow the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) curriculum as outlined by the CDC using an online platform. However, this program will expand on the DPP's educational program and provide trained community-based health care workers i.e., "doulas divas" to administer post-partum support while the participants matriculate through the online DPP. Participants will be randomized to either DPP only for one year or DPP + doula divas for one year). The investigators hypothesize that for Black participants with GDM, DPP+ doula divas program will have a completion rate superior to that of the DPP alone. The investigators propose this randomized controlled clinical trial utilizing institution and community partnerships to increase the rates of completion of post-partum diabetes prevention program in at risk women: Black women with GDM. The investigators also will implement this culturally responsive approach with the goal of reducing T2DM in Black women. Our discoveries will be a forward leap in the quest to reduce cardiovascular risk contributed by GDM and T2DM that lead to maternal morbidity and mortality.
