Detailed Description
the study is a cross sectional descriptive using questionnaire method in Sohag governorate among 500 women, over 6 months by random selection and they will be asked to answer the questions of prepared and copied questionnaire sheet. Data was collected by using a self-administered questionnaire. Based on extensive literature review no questionnaire was found that specifically related to knowledge evaluation. The basic theme of the questionnaire was taken from Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKN), a well validated tool for knowledge assessment among type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Some modifications were made and new questions particularly related to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) were included. Final version of questionnaire consists of 15questions divided into five main categories which are basic knowledge about GDM(3 questions), risk factors (3 questions), food and diet values (3 questions), management(3 questions)and complications/outcomes (3 questions). All questions were in multiple choice format with one option was "I don't know "to avoid unnecessary guesses by the participants. Score 1 was given to every right answer and 0 to every wrong answer. A higher score indicates better knowledge about GDM. Thus the maximum score is 15 and minimum is 0 and other questions without score to know the patient himself and to assess the relationship between the residency, work, education level and knowledge of patient and family history.
