Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To assess carbohydrate knowledge of Vietnamese women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and explore factors associated with carbohydrate knowledge.

METHODS

Vietnamese women (n = 100) with GDM completed an online questionnaire about self-efficacy in managing blood glucose, the habit of regularly self-monitoring blood glucose activities at home, and an adapted culturally tailored carbohydrate quiz for the target population.

RESULTS

Participants (30 ± 4 years) answered on average 51% of the carbohydrate knowledge questions correctly, showing most difficulty in identifying honey, milk, and orange juice as carbohydrate sources. Only 46% of participants correctly identified carbohydrate content on nutrition labels, and 58% practice self-monitoring blood glucose activities at home. Carbohydrate knowledge was positively associated with self-efficacy in blood glucose management (r = 0.101, P = 0.003) and practicing self-monitoring blood glucose (r = 0.064, P = 0.013).

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS

There is a need to provide nutrition education about carbohydrate knowledge and blood glucose control to Vietnamese women to manage GDM.

摘要

目的

评估越南妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）女性的碳水化合物知识，并探索与碳水化合物知识相关的因素。

方法

100名患有GDM的越南女性完成了一份在线问卷，内容包括血糖管理的自我效能感、在家定期自我监测血糖活动的习惯，以及针对目标人群改编的具有文化针对性的碳水化合物测试。

结果

参与者（30±4岁）平均正确回答了51%的碳水化合物知识问题，在将蜂蜜、牛奶和橙汁识别为碳水化合物来源方面表现出最大困难。只有46%的参与者能正确识别营养标签上的碳水化合物含量，58%的参与者在家进行自我血糖监测。碳水化合物知识与血糖管理自我效能感呈正相关（r = 0.101，P = 0.003），与自我血糖监测呈正相关（r = 0.064，P = 0.013）。
