Detailed description

Women with gestational diabetes who apply to the obstetrics outpatient clinic of the hospital where the study is conducted or who have been hospitalized in the obstetrics clinic and who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. As a result of the G-power analysis, the sample consisted of 21 interventions and 21 control groups. Pre-test data will be collected from pregnant women in both the control and intervention groups through scales.

Pregnant women in the intervention group will be shown videos created in addition to the standard training of the institution where the research data were collected. Pregnant women in the intervention group will be shown videos created in addition to the standard training of the institution where the research data were collected. Pregnant women participating in the study will be followed for four weeks. Pre-test data will be collected from pregnant women who meet the sampling criteria within the first week and how the research will proceed will be explained. Four separate videos, created specifically for each determined topic, will be sent to women daily via online environments during the first week and they will be made available for viewing. Once a week, short videos will be sent to the pregnant woman as a reminder and she will be allowed to watch them. Women will be asked to keep records of their blood sugar monitoring results for four weeks. In the fourth week, post-test data from women will be collected through scales.
