Abstract:
Objective:To explore the cognition of medical and nursing staff on prevention and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide reference for the construction of a standardized GDM prevention and management system.Methods:This study was a descriptive qualitative study. From June 2022 to November 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 22 clinical medical and nursing experts engaged in GDM management from ten Class Ⅲ Grade A general hospitals and six community health service centers in Beijing as the research subject. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and thematic analysis was used for data analysis.Results:Through the analysis and summarization of interview data, two themes were proposed, namely the challenges faced by GDM prevention and management (lack of standardized management system, lack of quality evaluation indicators, lack of professional medical and nursing staff, weak prevention awareness of medical and nursing staff, insufficient training), and the role of the GDM prevention management system (including the leading role of the government, responsibility subject role of hospitals, outpost role of community health service institutions, auxiliary role of society, collaborative management role of families, execution subject role of individuals) .Conclusions:GDM prevention management practices face multiple challenges. China should enhance the construction of the GDM prevention and management system, establish a quality evaluation index system, strengthen education and training for medical and nursing staff, and pay attention to the role of government, hospitals, community health service institutions, families and individuals in the GDM prevention and management system.
