Abstract

Women with gestational diabetes must have coping skills to reduce stress that may affect the health of women and the fetus. This descriptive study aimed to investigate pregnancy-specific stress, social support, coping skills, and their relationships among gestational diabetic women using the model of coping by Lazarus and Folkman12 as a conceptual framework of the study. The sample included 85 pregnant women who had been diagnosed with type A1 gestational diabetes and attended the antenatal clinics of Health Promotion Region 1 Chiang Mai Hospital and Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital between May to August 2017. Research instruments consisted of: Personal Data Record Form, Revised Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (NUPDQ)11 which was translated to Thai by the researcher and colleagues; the Social Support of High Risk Pregnant Woman Questionnaire14 and Coping Behavior of Gestational Diabetic Women Questionnaire modified from Coping Behavior of High Risk Pregnant Woman Questionnaire.14 Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

The results of the study were as follows:

Pregnancy-specific Stress was at a low level ( = 11.67, S.D. = 5.44).
Social Support was at a high level ( = 90.24, S.D. = 12.77).
Coping skill was at a high level ( = 96.41, S.D. = 9.97).
Pregnancy-specific stress did not relate to coping skills.
Social Support had a moderate positive correlation with coping skills (r = .443, p < .01).

The results of this study can be used as baseline data to evaluate the coping skills of women with gestational diabetes to provide care and social support for them.
