About

Taiwan National Health Insurance system was launched in 1995 and the diagnosis and treatment for gestational diabetes mellitus were reimbursed. However, controversy regarding treatment and prevention programs for the other different levels of gestational hyperglycemia continues. Moreover, long-term follow-up studies for the impact of different levels of gestational hyperglycemia on women's perinatal consequences were not found. Thus, the purpose of the study, is to explore the effect of a perinatal health promotion program on three different levels of gestational hyperglycemic women's bio-psycho-social features and their offspring's development.

Full description

The investigators will recruit 120 women with three different levels of gestational hyperglycemia and assign them to either experimental group (a total of 60 women of gestational hyperglycemia) or control group (a total of 60 women of gestational hyperglycemia). Data will be collected at the women's six-month gestation, hospitalization for childbirth, and six weeks, six months, and one year postpartum. The three-year study findings can demonstrate the consequences and risk factors for women with three different levels of gestational hyperglycemia to suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, the results can be taken as an evidence-based intervention for the perinatal health promotion program in preventing the gestational hyperglycemic women to suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus and in decreasing the impact of gestational hyperglycemia on the development of the gestational hyperglycemic women's offspring.
