Study on medication adherence in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus complicated by postpartum glucose metabolism disorders based on the risk perception attitude framework

The results of the MMAS-8 scale survey indicate poor medication adherence among postpartum GDM patients, with a significantly lower rate of good medication adherence compared to general T2DM patients. The stratified regression analysis demonstrates that risk perception and self-efficacy jointly influence postpartum medication adherence, and the risk perception attitude model can predict medication adherence among GDM patients postpartum.
