The Effect of Health Education Combined with Personalized Psychological Nursing Intervention on Pregnancy Outcome of Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of health education combined with personalized psychological nursing intervention on pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: 170 patients with GDM admitted to Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into two groups. During the period from diagnosis of GDM to termination of pregnancy, both groups were given routine education and routine examination, and the intervention group adopted health education combined with personalized psychological nursing interventions during pregnancy. The pregnancy weight, blood glucose index, compliance, disease awareness, self-adjustment management ability, satisfaction, and pregnancy outcome were measured before and after the intervention. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences in pregnancy weight, fasting plasma glucose, and 2 h postprandial blood glucose between the two groups before intervention (P = 0.768, 0.605, and 0.762). After intervention, lower levels of the above indicators were obtained in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.001). The compliance and satisfaction with the intervention in the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.001). The intervention group had remarkably higher disease awareness rate and self-psychological adjustment and management ability than the control group (P < 0.001). Better pregnancy outcomes were observed in the intervention group compared with the control group (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: For patients with GDM, health education combined with personalized psychological nursing on the basis of the conventional nursing can effectively control patients' condition and ensure a better pregnancy outcome, which merits widespread promotion.
