Summary

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is significant public health problem in Vietnam, which is potentially treatable if managed properly by the pregnant women once diagnosed. However, systematic screening for GDM is rarely undertaken in Vietnam, and little is known about how health providers, pregnant women, and their families in today's Vietnam handle the condition. Vietnamese women often depend on their extended family for daily life management and access to social and financial resources, hence, an intervention that focuses on informal support and GDM self-care may increase adherence the standard guidelines among pregnant women with GDM in Vietnam and increase neonatal and maternal health outcomes.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Self-care with informal support

The detailed content of the "self-care with informal support intervention" will be developed at participatory co-creation workshops involving pregnant women with GDM, their informal support persons, and health care staff. It is expected that intervention will include educational pamphlets regarding GDM and digital GDM education through videos and text messages. Further, digital coaching will be conducted and networking among intervention participants via the Vietnamese messaging app Zalo. In addition, each woman will be invited to include one informal support person in the intervention activities. GDM education will concern coaching on diet and exercise during pregnancy and after delivery and coaching on breastfeeding and infant/child nutrition.
