Description
Fatma Yılmaz Fındık and Meltem Akbas test, in a 2026 randomised trial, whether motivational interviewing helps pregnant women with gestational diabetes feel more capable of managing their health. The condition demands daily discipline around food, activity, weight, and blood sugar checks.
Sixty women at two hospitals in southern Türkiye were split evenly between four interviewing sessions and routine care, with follow-up after the sessions ended. Beforehand the groups matched on self-rated health abilities and quality of life. Afterwards the interviewed group scored far higher on health practice confidence at both the post-test and the follow-up, with a sizeable gap over controls. The authors support the counselling style as practical antenatal support.
