“…HL had a weaker effect on self-efficacy and acted as a partial mediator in the process of social support influencing self-efficacy. Moghadam et al (57) found that the dimensions of social capital such as community involvement, neighborhood, family and friends, tolerance of diversity, and work relationships were influential factors in the self-efficacy of women with GDM, the enhancement of women's social capital may increase their self-efficacy in controlling GDM. Self-efficacy represents the confidence and ability of pregnant women with GDM to engage in self-management in some extent, which can alleviate the stress level, improve the quality of life of women with GDM (46), and motivate them to adopt a healthy lifestyle after diagnosis (58).…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to investigate the pathways by which health literacy (HL), social support, and self-efficacy influence self-management behaviors of pregnant women with Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the interrelationships between the variables.MethodsA total of 565 pregnant women with GDM was recruited. The Demographic Characteristics Form, Health Literacy Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, General Self-efficacy Scale and GDM Self-management Behavior Scale were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, zero-ordered correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis were performed on the variables; Structural Equation Model (SEM) were constructed for pathway analysis.ResultsA positive correlation was found between health literacy, social support, self-efficacy, and self-management behaviors among pregnant women with GDM after adjusting for age, education level, income level, work status, parity, and family history of diabetes (r ranging from 0.203 to 0.533). A further multiple linear regression analysis showed that functional HL, communicative HL, critical HL, social support, and self-efficacy were all independent influences on self-management behaviors and accounted for 36.3% of the variance. Communicative HL and critical HL explained the strongest self-management behaviors (β = 0.316 and 0.255, respectively, p < 0.001). The SEM model was suitable for χ2/DF = 2.860, RMSEA = 0.060, IFI = 0.953, TLI = 0.943, and CFI = 0.952. The results showed direct positive effects of health literacy on self-management behaviors and self-efficacy, direct positive effects of social support on health literacy and self-efficacy. Social support and self-efficacy have had no significant direct impact on self-management behaviors, but social support may indirectly influence self-management behaviors through the health literacy mediation role.ConclusionHealthcare providers should pay attention to the positive impacts of health literacy and social support on self-management behaviors of pregnant women with GDM. Improving the health literacy level of pregnant women with GDM should be the key point of intervention in practice, and the social support system should be fully mobilized to enhance emotional support and life support to promote the improvement of self-management behaviors.

“…Concerning GDM, it was found among other studies worldwide a strong positive relationship between self-efficacy and GDM self-control [50][51][52][53][54]. Self-efficacy was also highly correlated with improving self-management among individuals with DM in several studies [55][56][57][58][59][60].…”

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.

“…In order to improve self-efficacy, some researchers have employed the individual social capital as a predictor. According to Hasani Moghdam and some other colleagues, there has been a positive impact of individual social capital on self-efficacy among women in Iran (Hasani Moghadam et al, 2020). And the other scholars have investigated the facilitating function of individual social capital on self-efficacy for high school students in China (Liu & Ngai, 2020); among the young with job in Swede (Andersson, 2021).…”

“…In addition, there also have been researchers conducting studies, demonstrating the positive association of individual social capital with self-efficacy (Andersson, 2021;Hasani Moghadam, Yousefi Abdolmaleki, Alijani, Bagherian Afrakoti, & Ganji, 2020;Hudson, Hagedoorn, & Bubeck, 2020;Liu & Ngai, 2020). Nevertheless, the relationship among the three above constructs remains unclear, and the aim of this study tries to bridge the gap by jointing them collaboratively.…”

The purpose of this article is to look at the life satisfaction of university students in the Chinese city of Ji'nan. Because of the vital importance of university students, their life satisfaction is valuable and should be investigated. The literature on students' life satisfaction leaves the three factors in the study unexplored. As a result, this research attempts to explain the relationship between university students' life satisfaction and individual social capital through the mediating influence of self-efficacy, which may be a novel conceptual model rarely used in prior studies, particularly in Ji'nan, China. The results indicates that the significant positive association of individual social capital with life satisfaction for university students with the mediating effect of self-efficacy. As a non-experimental descriptive study approach, a quantitative (deductive reasoning) technique was utilized to quantify the issue, in which a survey questionnaire was used to collect numerical data, which was then converted into a table.
