Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the Self-Family-Environment Empowerment (SFEE) diet management intervention on glycemic control, maternal outcomes, and dietary adherence in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy, posing risks to maternal and fetal health. Effective management of GDM is critical to improving outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the potential of the Self-Family-Environment Empowerment (SFEE) diet management intervention in empowering pregnant women with GDM to improve glycemic control, dietary adherence, and maternal outcomes.

The study is conducted as a parallel-group controlled trial at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. Participants are allocated to two groups: an intervention group receiving routine care combined with the SFEE program and a control group receiving routine care only. The SFEE intervention integrates self-management strategies, family empowerment, and community learning, designed to support adherence to dietary recommendations and enhance participants' understanding of GDM management.

Primary outcomes include fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose, and HbA1c levels measured after a 3-month intervention. Secondary outcomes include dietary adherence (assessed via a validated scale), GDM knowledge (measured using a questionnaire), and perceived social support (measured using the Perceived Social Support Scale)

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Outcome assessors were blinded to minimize bias during data collection and analysis. Participants and care providers were not masked due to the nature of the intervention.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SFEE Diet Management Group ( Experimental Arm)

Participants in this group received the Self-Family-Environment Empowerment (SFEE) diet management intervention, which included:

Self-empowerment: Goal-setting, dietary planning, and evaluation. Family empowerment: Emotional support and supervision of dietary practices. Environmental empowerment: Peer group interaction, education, and support through WeChat groups.

Routine nursing care was also provided alongside the intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SFEE Diet Management Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A structured diet management program designed to improve glycemic control, dietary adherence, and maternal outcomes. It includes:

Self-empowerment: Goal-setting, dietary planning, and evaluation. Family empowerment: Emotional support and supervision. Environmental empowerment: Peer group interaction and education via WeChat groups and in-person meetings.

Control Group

Participants in this group received routine nursing care for gestational diabetes management, including:

Medication guidance, dietary education using guidance charts, exercise plans, and self-monitoring.

Dietary plans were customized based on individual patient needs, but no additional empowerment strategies (e.g., SFEE) were implemented.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
