Description Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the content and effectiveness of psychosocial support interventions for women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
Methods: This systematic review searched the following databases without limiting time periods: Ovid-MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Ovid-EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, NDSL, KoreaMed, RISS, and KISS. Two investigators independently reviewed and selected articles according to the predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. For study quality evaluation, ROB 2.0 and RoBANS 2.0 checklist were used.
Results: Based on the 14 selected studies, psychosocial support interventions were provided for the purpose of 1) informational support (including GDM and diabetes mellitus information, how to manage diet, exercise, stress, blood sugar, and weight, postpartum management, and prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM)); 2) self-management motivation (setting a goal for management while checking diet and exercise management, glucose monitoring, and enhancing positive health behaviors.); 3) relaxation (practicing breathing and/or meditation); and 4) emotional support (sharing opinions and support).
Psychosocial supportive interventions to women with GDM affect increased behavioral change, mostly in the form of self-care behavior; they also reduce depression, anxiety and stress, and have an impact on improving self-efficacy. It contributes to lowering physiological parameters such as fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and 2 hours postprandial glucose.
Conclusion: Psychosocial supportive interventions can indeed positively affect self-care behaviors, lifestyle changes, and physiologic parameters in women with GDM. Nurses can play a pivotal role in integrative management and can streamline the care for GDM women during pregnancy and following birth, especially through psychosocial support interventions.
