What this trial studies
This observational study examines how gestational diabetes influences quality of life and psychological well-being among pregnant women. It aims to identify common emotional responses and factors associated with QoL during GDM. The study will collect patient-reported outcomes and may inform future development of a QoL measure tailored to GDM. Participants are pregnant women aged 20-40 admitted to Christian Medical College & Hospital, Ludhiana, who consent to participate. No interventions are specified as the study is observational.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Findings could improve understanding of the psychosocial needs of women with GDM and guide supportive care and future QoL measurement tools.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has explored QoL in diabetes, with limited GDM-specific QoL measures; this study could validate a GDM-focused QoL assessment in an Indian setting.
