“…Concerning GDM, it was found among other studies worldwide a strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and GDM self-control [ 50 – 54 ]. Self-efficacy was also highly correlated with improving self-management among individuals with DM in several studies [ 55 – 60 ]. Hence, enhancing women’s self-efficacy regarding diet control, exercise, and blood sugar control holds the potential to improve their self-management.…”

Aim The main objective of this study is to identify the level of self-care practices and the determinants of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) among pregnant women residing in one of the refugee camps in Jordan. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenient sample of forty women diagnosed with GDM from the high-risk maternity clinic in one of the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. The study used the Gestational Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (GDMSES), Diabetes Knowledge (DMK) assessment, and Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCA) to measure the variables of interest. Descriptive analysis and Multiple logistic regression were used to assess for significant factors. Results Significant associations were found between the subcategories of diet, exercise, and blood sugar control in both the self-efficacy and self-activity scales (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.05), respectively. Two factors were associated with higher GDM self-care: diabetes knowledge and higher self-efficacy toward GDM self-care (p < 0.05). Conclusion The findings of this study highlight that pregnant women with GDM who have higher levels of self-efficacy and diabetes knowledge are more likely to achieve higher levels of GDM self-care. Beside developing health promotion programs to enhance women’s self-efficacy in adhering to GDM care, adequate support and relevant resources to facilitate GDM management among refugee women are recommended. Future research for identifying other potential factors affecting GDM self-care among refugees is highly recommended.

"Background and Aim: Women with gestational diabetes are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Development of self-efficacy is an important tool for active participation in treatment and behavioral change and can have a significant effect on type 2 diabetes-preventative behaviors. Therefore, it is necessary to search for an effective teaching method to improve the self-efficacy of these individuals. Accordingly, the aim of the present article is to determine the effect of smartphone-based education on self-efficacy in women with gestational diabetes (GDM). Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 90 women with GDM (n=45 individuals per group) at Yas Medical Center, Tehran. GDM software was installed on the cell phone of the intervention group. The control group only received the prenatal routine training. The self-efficacy questionnaire was completed before and 6 weeks after the intervention by the two groups. Data analysis was carried out using Chi-square, t-test, independent t-test, and Fisher exact test in SPSS ver. 16. P-value 0.05 was considered as the significance level. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of self-efficacy changes before and 6 weeks after the intervention (p 0.001), meaning that these changes were significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group. Conclusion: Smartphone-based education can increase self-efficacy in women with GDM as an effective and low-cost method "
