Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the impact of mobile application-supported education and counseling on the intention, attitude, behavior, and self-efficacy of pregnant women diagnosed with gestational diabetes. The study will be conducted at Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, with participants assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive planned education and counseling via a mobile application, while the control group will receive standard hospital education. Data will be collected at predetermined intervals, and outcomes will be compared between the groups. The study seeks to determine the effectiveness of a mobile application-supported approach in the management of gestational diabetes.

Conditions

  • Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mobile Application-Based Education and Counseling Program

A two-week structured education and counseling program delivered via the SugarMoms mobile application for gestational diabetes management. Education is provided by a certified diabetes nurse educator and includes topics such as gestational diabetes management, blood glucose monitoring, insulin therapy, management of hypo/hyperglycemia, healthy nutrition, physical activity, and pregnancy health recommendations. Each module includes audio support, a question-and-answer component, and daily motivational notifications. Participants will log daily blood glucose, dietary intake, and physical activity in the app and continue app use throughout the study. Follow-up assessments and questionnaires are delivered through the app, and progress is monitored via the administrator panel.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Face-to-Face Gestational Diabetes Education

A two-week standard face-to-face gestational diabetes education program provided by a certified diabetes nurse educator in accordance with hospital protocol. The program covers the same topics as the intervention group's app-based program. Blood glucose monitoring is recorded using paper-based forms.
