Primary outcomePrimary: Large for Gestational Age (LGA) — 23; 17 Participants
Summary
Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is significant public health problem in Vietnam, which is potentially treatable if managed properly by the pregnant women once diagnosed. However, systematic screening for GDM is rarely undertaken in Vietnam, and little is known about how health providers, pregnant women, and their families in today's Vietnam handle the condition. Vietnamese women often depend on their extended family for daily life management and access to social and financial resources, hence, an intervention that focuses on informal support and GDM self-care may increase adherence the standard guidelines among pregnant women with GDM in Vietnam and increase neonatal and maternal health outcomes.
