Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of WeChat platform-based nursing intervention on the disease control and pregnancy outcomes of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS: A total of 112 patients with GDM treated in our hospital from December 2018 to December 2020 were enrolled, and their clinical data were retrospectively analysed. Among them, 61 pregnant women were given routine nursing as the control group (Con group), and the other 51 were given WeChat platform-based interactive continuous nursing intervention as the observation group (Obs group). The blood glucose (BG) of the two groups before and after nursing was compared, and their self-management level and nursing satisfaction were evaluated. The maternal and infant outcomes of the two groups were also compared. RESULTS: , and history of diabetes mellitus were independent risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women, while WeChat platform-based interactive continuous nursing was a protective factor against adverse pregnancy outcome (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: WeChat platform-based interactive continuous nursing intervention can help patients master comprehensive self-management skills to achieve good control of GDM, improve their satisfaction toward nursing and lower the risk of adverse outcome.
