Abstract To analyze the correlation of the psychological stress of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and their coping style and self-care ability. Methods: 80 pregnant women with GDM were enrolled in this study From September 2022 to October 2023. The pregnancy stress rating scale, the simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), and the self-care scale were used for investigation. The women were divided into group A (women with psychological stress) and group B (women without psychological stress) according to the score of the pregnancy stress rating scale. The basic information, the SCSQ score, and the self-care ability score of the women were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to discuss the correlation of the psychological stress of the women with GDM and their coping style and self-care ability. Results: The psychological stress score of 80 women with GDM was 46.78±9.14 points, including 38 (47.5%) cases in group A and 42 (52.5%) cases in group B. The positive coping score (24.67±4.35 points) of the women in group A was significantly lower than that (29.12±5.03 points) of the women in group B, and the negative coping score (18.06±3.28 points) of the women in group A was significantly higher than that (14.17±2.65 points) of the women in group B. The scores of diet control, weight management, exercise management, drug management, regular review and blood glucose level monitoring of the women in group A were significantly lower than those of the women in group B (all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that the psychological stress score of the women with GDM was negatively correlated with their positive coping score and their total score of self-care ability, and was positively correlated with their negative coping score (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the psychological stress of the pregnant women with GDM is at medium level, and the psychological pressure of the women is correlated with their coping style and self-care ability, which suggests that the positive coping and self-care ability of the women should be improved by reducing their psychological pressure in clinic.
