Application of online-offline integrated medical care management in patients with gestational diabetes.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES:

To investigate efficacy of online-offline integrated medical care management in patients with gestational diabetes.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

A total of 140 patients with gestational diabetes were randomly divided into two groups: integrated management (IM) group (n = 70) and control group (n = 70). Patients in the control group were treated with routine nursing intervention, and the patients in the IM group were treated with integrated care (offline medical and nursing management combined with WeChat online management). The fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial plasma glucose (2hPG), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score, Diabetes Care Profile (DPC) score, 36-item Short-Form (SF-36) score, and poor pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS:

After intervention, the FPG, 2hPG, SAS score, SDS score, DPC score and SF-36 score were improved in both groups. All indicators in the IM group were better than the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence of premature delivery, polyhydramnios, neonatal respiratory distress, intrauterine distress, and postpartum hemorrhage in the IM group were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

The online-offline integrated medical care management effectively improved the blood glucose level, mental state, self-management behavior, quality of life and pregnancy outcomes of patients with gestational diabetes.
