Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the relationships between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)-related breastfeeding knowledge, GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs, and breastfeeding intention. It investigates the factors influencing breastfeeding intention among pregnant women in Nepal.

Methods

A total of 229 healthy pregnant women visiting an antenatal clinic in Nepal participated in this study between January and March, 2023. They completed a questionnaire that assessed their GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge, GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs, and breastfeeding intention. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance including Scheffé’s post hoc test, and logistic regression analysis.

Results

Of the participants, 86.9% (n = 199) indicated positive breastfeeding intention, even with a relatively low level of GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge. Logistic regression analysis of the factors influencing breastfeeding intention yielded a significant model (χ² = 38.80, p < .001) with significant variables; GDM-related breastfeeding knowledge [odds ratio (OR): 1.0, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.02–1.40], GDM-related breastfeeding health beliefs (OR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15), and immediate family experience with diabetes mellitus (OR: 5.38, 95% CI: 1.98–14.62).

Conclusion

Nurses should lead interventions to educate pregnant women about the benefits of breastfeeding that can help in mitigating the long-term effects of GDM and reinforce health beliefs through positive experiences. This study provides information demonstrating the need for nurse-led improvements in Nepal's GDM management system, from screening to comprehensive care.

妊娠期糖尿病母乳喂养知识和健康信念对孕妇母乳喂养意愿的影响

目的：探讨妊娠期糖尿病（GDM）相关母乳喂养知识、GDM相关母乳喂养健康信念与母乳喂养意愿的关系。调查了尼泊尔孕妇母乳喂养意向的影响因素。方法：于2023年1月至3月在尼泊尔一家产前诊所就诊的229名健康孕妇参与了本研究。她们完成了一份调查问卷，评估她们与gdm相关的母乳喂养知识、与gdm相关的母乳喂养健康信念和母乳喂养意图。采用描述性统计、独立t检验、单因素方差分析（含scheff事后检验）和logistic回归分析对数据进行分析。结果：86.9% （n=199）的参与者表示积极的母乳喂养意愿，即使gdm相关的母乳喂养知识水平相对较低。对影响母乳喂养意愿的因素进行Logistic回归分析，得出具有显著性的模型（χ2=38.80, p）结论：护士应主导干预措施，教育孕妇母乳喂养的好处，有助于减轻GDM的长期影响，并通过积极的经历增强健康信念。这项研究提供的信息表明，尼泊尔的GDM管理系统需要护士主导的改进，从筛查到综合护理。
