| Abstract | ||||
| Because of its high prevalence and possible problems for pregnant women and their offspring, gestational diabetes is a global health concern. As a result, patient education is one of the most important factors in increasing women's knowledge and habits. Early detection of high-risk factors for gestational diabetes can be prevented by educational programs designed and implemented to decrease the high prevalence and prevent complications. Aim: To evaluate the effect of intervention PRECEDE model on knowledge and practice of preventive behaviors among high-risk pregnant women regarding gestational diabetes. Subjects and method: Design: Quasi-experimental research design pre-post-test was used to achieve the aim of this study. Settings: The study was applied in the antenatal outpatient clinics at Beni-Suef University Hospitals. Sample: A purposive sample of 200 pregnant women diagnosed as high-risk for gestational diabetes was recruited from the selected settings. Tools: Four tools were used: (1) a Structured interviewing questionnaire, (2) Predisposing, Enabling, and Reinforcing Questionnaire (PRECEDE model questionnaire), (3) a High-risk pregnant women’s reported practices questionnaire of gestational diabetes preventive behavior, and (4) High-risk pregnant women’s attitude questionnaire regarding gestational diabetes prevention. Results: The current results revealed that the mean score of knowledge, enabling factors, and reinforcing factors have been increased with statistical significance immediately and after one month of the intervention. High-risk pregnant women had adequate practices toward gestational diabetes preventive measures one-month post-intervention compared to pre-intervention. High-risk pregnant women had a positive attitude toward gestational diabetes preventive measures one-month post-intervention compared to pre-intervention. There was a statistically significant relationship between knowledge, enabling, reinforcing factors scores, and practices scores of gestational diabetes preventive measures throughout the intervention phases. Conclusion: It was concluded that implementing intervention based on PRECEDE model for high-risk pregnant women was effective in improving knowledge and practice regarding the prevention of gestational diabetes. Recommendation: The intervention based on PRECEDE model regarding gestational diabetes prevention should be integrated into the antenatal care for pregnant women in the different study settings. | ||||
