Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a glucose intolerance that shows its first onset during pregnancy. In India, GDM affects as many as 5 million women annually. The interprofessional collaborative educational intervention is crucial for GDM management. This study illustrates the collaborative effort in developing and validating an interprofessional health education module designed for healthcare professionals during consultation sessions with GDM patients.
The investigation involved three stages: 1) needs assessment for module contents and objectives, 2) health education module development by an interprofessional team, and 3) module validation. We received ethics approval from the institution's ethics committee.
The interprofessional team developed and validated the evidence-based English-printed module. The module had 27 units and covered six topics: an introduction to GDM and its management, dietary recommendations for GDM, exercise, yoga recommendations for GDM, weight control, and postpartum care.
The interprofessional team developed the educational module, wherein there is an integration of the domains of exercise and yoga along with medicines and nutrition therapy. The module was developed based on local requirements and evidence-based practices. Healthcare professionals can use the interprofessional health education module when advising diabetic pregnant patients.
妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）是一种在孕期首次出现的葡萄糖不耐受情况。在印度，每年有多达500万女性受妊娠期糖尿病影响。跨专业协作教育干预对妊娠期糖尿病的管理至关重要。本研究阐述了在与妊娠期糖尿病患者会诊期间，为医护人员开发和验证一个跨专业健康教育模块的协作过程。
该调查包括三个阶段：1）对模块内容和目标进行需求评估，2）由一个跨专业团队开发健康教育模块，3）对模块进行验证。我们获得了该机构伦理委员会的伦理批准。
跨专业团队开发并验证了基于证据的英文印刷模块。该模块有27个单元，涵盖六个主题：妊娠期糖尿病及其管理简介、妊娠期糖尿病的饮食建议、运动、妊娠期糖尿病的瑜伽建议、体重控制和产后护理。
跨专业团队开发了该教育模块，其中将运动和瑜伽领域与药物及营养治疗相结合。该模块是根据当地需求和循证实践开发的。医护人员在为糖尿病孕妇提供建议时可使用该跨专业健康教育模块。
