Summary

Pregnant women who established prenatal examination cards in the prenatal outpatient department of our hospital from January 2025 to September 2025 were selected. According to the inclusion criteria, 200 high-risk pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were selected. 100 people in the control group received conventional nursing intervention measures, and 100 people in the intervention group adopted the family-centered wechat platform interactive management nursing model. The observation period was from the start of prenatal examination to follow-up until delivery. The blood glucose conditions, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, incidence of GDM, and weight gain during pregnancy of the two groups of pregnant women were observed. The pregnancy outcomes included: Gestational age at delivery, gestational complications (gestational hypertension, diabetic ketosis, preterm birth, post-term pregnancy, urogenital tract infection), polyhydramnios, mode of delivery (induced labor, shoulder dystocia, cesarean section), premature rupture of membranes, postpartum complications (postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection), etc. Perinatal outcomes: including fetal growth restriction, macrosomia, preterm birth, stillbirth, fetal malformations, fetal distress, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal hypoglycemia, etc. We applied FCC to pregnant women at high risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and advanced the intervention window to the beginning of prenatal examination (8-10 weeks of pregnancy). This may be able to improve weight gain and blood glucose levels during pregnancy in high-risk pregnant women, reduce the incidence of GDM, improve the final maternal and infant outcomes, and provide a certain theoretical basis for prenatal nursing intervention in pregnant women at high risk of GDM in the future.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Control group：The interactive management nursing model on the wechat platform	The intervention subjects of the control group: targeted at the pregnant and postpartum women themselves. Specifically, conduct routine outpatient prenatal examinations and health education for pregnant women. Regularly receive health education and pregnancy guidance intervention provided by the wechat platform. It includes: ① Setting specific wechat ringtones, 60-second voice messages and picture reminders every day; ② Basic knowledge education every Monday ③ Dietary guidance is provided every Tuesday. ④ Exercise guidance every Wednesday ⑤ Guidance on blood glucose monitoring every Thursday; Weight guidance is provided every Friday.
BEHAVIORAL	Intervention group：Family-centered early care intervention	The intervention subjects of the intervention group were parturients and their primary caregivers (spouses and parents). The specific measures are as follows: 1. Establish a family-centered healthcare team (FCC) It includes one chief physician, two attending physicians, one diabetes specialist nurse, two responsible nurses, one psychotherapist, and one nutritionist. The organization members will conduct FCC concept learning and knowledge training. 2. Interactive management nursing model on the wechat platform * Set specific wechat ringtones, 60-second voice messages and picture reminders every day; * Basic knowledge education every Monday; ③. Dietary guidance every Tuesday; ④. Exercise guidance every Wednesday; ⑤ Guidance on blood glucose monitoring every Thursday; ⑥. Weight guidance every Friday; ⑦. Strengthen home care guidance every Saturday and Sunday.
