Clinical Trial 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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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.	5 Minute
Primary	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.	5 minute
