Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of training pregnant women on the decision of having an oral glucose challenge test (GCT), which is recommended by a physician for screening of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Primary hypothesis is that structured training is effective in increasing pregnant women's acceptance of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening. The effect of training on patients' decision-making regarding gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) screening was planned to be evaluated. Participants in the control group received standard counseling about GDM screening. Participants in the intervention group received a structured, specific audiovisual educational program supported by a guidebook, lasting approximately 15-20 minutes.

Structured training

The trainings lasted about 15 minutes and were applied in mutual communication with the questions of the participants. The materials that were used were an audiovisual aid/pictured guidebook prepared for this study and named the Gestational Diabetes Pregnant Education Guide and a transparent package containing 50 g glucose powder and a commercially packaged 50 g glucose drink package. The training guidebook was prepared by the authors. The educational materials were prepared by two obstetrics and gynecology specialists and one public health expert with over 15 years of experience in their fields. The guidebook was prepared in a PowerPoint program and consisted of 14 sheets and 28 pages. The odd-numbered pages were arranged to be seen and understood by the patient. The even-numbered pages contained the information to be explained by the educator. The guidebook was placed in a presentation folder that enabled face-to-face training.
