Effect of new media among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus in a general hospital / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate the effect of new media among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) during postpartum period.@*Methods@#The gestational diabetes maternal in the obstetrics department of Peking University First Hospital from May to June, 2017 was selected. We used excel generated random number table to divide the groups, there were 50 cases in the control group and 46 cases in the study group. The control group used routine postpartum routine health education, including informing 2 groups of maternal weight management diet and exercise plans, giving leaflets, and conducting telephone to supervise the quality control; based on these situations, the study group added group WeChat push reminders and Q&A, and "317 Protector" to push the heath education materials after discharge. Then we did comparison of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), lipid test results and body mass index (BMI) of the two groups on the 42nd day postpartum.@*Results@#The recovery and control of the study group women were better than those of the control group. In the study group, BMI, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein were (22.13±2.91) kg/m2, (5.06±0.39) mmol/L, (0.89±0.27) mmol/L, (5.61±0.68) mmol/L, (1.52±0.27)mmol/L, (3.16±0.71) mmol/L after 42 days of birth. While in the control group, these were (23.66±4.21)kg/m2, (5.30±0.47) mmol/L, (1.03±0.36) mmol/L, (5.64±0.66) mmol/L, (1.63±0.30) mmol/L, (3.23±0.62) mmol/L. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t value was -3.604-2.059, P<0.05 or 0.01).@*Conclusion@#New media for postpartum follow-up of gestational diabetes can effectively help improve BMI, blood lipids and other indicators, and can also help blood sugar control effect.
