Relationship between illness perception and self‐management behaviors among women with gestational diabetes mellitus in China during the <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 pandemic: A mediating role of depression
GDM pregnant women have a certain negative illness perception of GDM, and the detection rate of depression symptoms is relatively high. The level of self-management behaviors among GDM pregnant women is notably suboptimal and warrants improvement. Depression partially mediates the relationship between illness perception and self-management behaviors. Improving positive illness perception and decreasing depression are important strategies to improve self-management behaviors in women with GDM.
