Level and factors associated with self-regulatory fatigue among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus
Objective To describe the level and influencing factors of self-regulatory fatigue among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),and to provide reference for targeted intervention.Methods A total of 318 pregnant women with GDM were investigated using a sociodemographic questionnaire,the Self-regulatory Fatigue Scale,the General Self-efficacy Scale,the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale.Results The sample scored(50.44±8.23)for self-regulatory fatigue.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that whether work or home,average monthly household income per capita,weeks of pregnancy,self-efficacy,resilience and social support were factors affecting self-regulatory fatigue(all P＜0.05),which could explain 54.1％of the total variance.Conclusion Pregnant women with GDM report high level of self-regulatory fatigue.Medi-cal staff should identify high-risk women,and pay more attention to those who attend work,those with low family income and with ≥28 weeks of pregnancy.Interventions should be carried out to improve their self-efficacy,resilience and social support,in an effort to alleviate their self-regulatory fatigue.
