Abstract
The purposes of this descriptive research were to study 1) percevied benefits and health promoting behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus; and 2) relationships between percevied benefits and health promoting behaviors. The samples were 84 pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus who controlled their diets by themselves. The research instruments were questionnaires about percevied benefits, health promoting behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. These instruments were tested for content validity by 3 experts. The question content validity value was between 0.67 - 1. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for realiability were 0.95 and 0.95, respectively. The data were analyzed using frequencies, percentage, mean, standard deviations, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.
The results revealed that:
1. Overall percevied benefits of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus were at the highest level (Mean = 4.68, SD = 0.13) and overall health promoting behaviors were at a high level (Mean = 4.39, SD = 0.21).
2. Percevied benefits were moderatly positively related to overall health promoting behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (r = 0.416).
The study suggests that nurses and healthcare providers should develop a nursing intervention to assess perceived benefits in order to achieve health promoting behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
