Abstract
GDM affects maternal health and neonatal adverse outcomes and also increase the risk of future type 2 diabetes in mother as well as the baby. A cross-sectional study was conducted with the objective of assessing knowledge of GDM among pregnant women with GDM attending Diabetes clinic of Yangon General Hospital (YGH) in Myanmar. A total of 195 women were interviewed by using face-to-face, semi-structured interviews guided questions from July 2020 to February 2021. All data were descriptively analyzed. In the present study 85(43.6%) had low level of knowledge about risk factor, 109 (55.9%) had moderate level of knowledge about prevention and treatment and 117 of respondents
(60%) had low level of knowledge about the consequences. Although in general, total knowledge about GDM, more than 55% had moderate level of knowledge. There is a positive correlation between education status of respondents and level of knowledge (p=0.015). Therefore, to gain the necessary knowledge and skills for improvement of outcomes to the women with GDM, by using easy accessible ways for every woman with different educational status, is an important issue. Nurses should play an important role as nurse educator for pregnant women with GDM in Myanmar.
