摘要

Diagnosis of diabetes mellitus during pregnancy alters the pregnant woman′s routine. Current analysis compares the life quality of pregnant women before and after diagnosis of diabetes mellitus during pregnancy and analyzes their profile in a high risk clinic of a government-run maternity. Current analysis, undertaken between March and July 2014, comprises 127 pregnant women with pregnancy diabetes mellitus (PDM), to whom the Ferrans & Powers questionnaire was applied. A decrease in the satisfaction degree of LQ was reported in total score (26.7 vs 25.3; DP: 2.0 vs 2.3; p<0.01) and in ILQ health/functioning (26.8 vs 24.1; DP: 2.4 vs 3.4; p<0.01) prior to and after diagnosis. No decrease in LQ (IQV family: 28.1 vs 28.1; DP: 2.4 vs 2.4; p=0.986; socio-economic ILQ: 26.8 vs 26.1; DP: 2.9 vs 3.0; p=0.078; psychological/spiritual ILQ: 27.5 vs 27.0; DP: 2.9 vs 3.0; p=0.196) was detected. PDM had a negative impact on the LQ of the pregnant woman.
