Gestational diabetes |
Secondary abstract: |
Gestational diabetes is diabetes that occurs for the first time during pregnancy. In Slovenia, between 2.8 and 4.5 percent of pregnant women are affected by this disease. The number of women with gestational diabetes is increasing due to unhealthy lifestyle and most of all due to increasing occurrence of obesity. Gestational diabetes is a growing problem in Slovenia, as well as in the world.
The purpose of the thesis is to establish the main risk factors for gestational diabetes and determine how pregnant women are familiar with GD. The descriptive method of research was used to get the necessary data. The data was gathered by anonymous questionnaire. The sample included pregnant women of full age who were diagnosed with GD and were treated in outpatient clinics for diabetics in Ljubljana, Kranj and Kamnik. The results showed that GD is a disease with at least two major risk factors, since 65 percent of all respondents had two or more risk factors. The results also showed that pregnant women are familiar with principles of healthy and balanced nutrition and are acting according to them. The majority of pregnant women with GD regularly check their glucose levels, but only 22.2 percent of them are physically active. More than two thirds of respondents are very well familiar with GD and possible complications from this type of diabetes during pregnancy and are aware that it is necessary to follow the advice on successful disease management.
Educational workshops where pregnant women with GD could receive help with getting used to GD, applying healthy nutrition and regular physical exercise could improve the management of GD. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Nosečnostna sladkorna bolezen (NSB) je sladkorna bolezen, ki se prvič pojavi v nosečnosti. Pogostnost NSB je v Sloveniji med 2,8 in 4,5 %. Število nosečnic z NSB narašča zaradi nezdravega načina življenja, predvsem naraščajoče pogostnosti debelosti. Tako v svetu kot v Sloveniji NSB postaja vse bolj pogost in pereč problem.
Namen diplomskega dela je ugotoviti, kateri so najznačilnejši dejavniki tveganja za pojav NSB, in kakšna je seznanjenost nosečnic z NSB. Za pridobivanje potrebnih podatkov smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo raziskovanja. Podatke smo zbrali z anonimnim anketnim vprašalnikom. V vzorec so bile vključene polnoletne nosečnice s postavljeno diagnozo NSB, ki so se zdravile v diabetoloških ambulantah v Ljubljani, Kranju ali Kamniku. Rezultati so pokazali, da je NSB ena izmed bolezni, pri kateri prevladujeta vsaj dva določena dejavnika tveganja za pojav bolezni, saj ima 65 % vseh anketirank dva ali več dejavnikov tveganja. Prav tako so rezultati pokazali, da nosečnice poznajo načela zdrave in uravnotežena prehrane in jih upoštevajo. Večina nosečnic si redno meri krvni sladkor, redno telesno aktivnih pa je le 22,2 %. Več kot dve tretjini anketiranih nosečnic je dobro seznanjenih z NSB in možnimi zapleti, ki jih ta oblika sladkorne bolezni v nosečnosti prinaša in se zaveda, da je upoštevanje nasvetov glede vodenja bolezni nujno.
Z izvajanjem izobraževalnih delavnic, kjer bi nosečnicam z NSB nudili pomoč pri prilagajanju na NSB, navajanju na nov način prehranjevanja in jih spodbujali k redni telesni aktivnosti, bi lahko pozitivno vplivali na uspešnejše vodenje NSB. |
