This Evidence Based Practice Final Proposal Gestational Diabetes Mellitus authored by Anthony LaGrega affiliated with Grand Canyon University focuses on the effect diet education can have on pregnant women in preventing the prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus during a nine month pregnancy. This article is composed of the problem which is gestational diabetes, the literature needed to support the problem, proposed interventions, implementation plan and the evaluation process. Through each phase research was conducted and analyzed to see what method would be the most efficient in preventing the prevalence of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus. Nursing education regarding diet through was shown to be important in providing guidance to pregnant mothers as an effort to reduce the incidence of gestational diabetes but further research is required to provide a definitive conclusion on the effectiveness of diet education in prevention of gestational diabetes mellitus. A Financial analysis was conducted to expose the budget approved for this proposal as well as a complete timeline of expected events and outcomes. Evidence Based Practice Final Proposal 3 Section A: Problem Statement Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a medical condition manifested by intolerance to sugar during pregnancy (Mensah et al., 2020). Gestational diabetes mellitus occurs when a placental hormone inhibits the body's use of insulin, causing gaps in insulin utilization in the mother's sugar metabolism. As a result, there is a blood buildup of glucose, and the cells do not take it up. According to Fiskin & Sahin (2020), gestational diabetes mellitus affects up to 6.9% of pregnant women in the United States. Additionally, it results in numerous neonatal complications and poor birth outcomes. GDM occurs within the twentieth to the twenty-fourth week of pregnancy when contra-insulin hormones are very high. Another associated risk of GDM is that even though it usually ends after pregnancy, some women may develop other forms of diabetes such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, once their pregnancy is over (Mishra et al., 2018; Fiskin & Sahin, 2020). Due to these associated complications to both the mother and the child, gestational diabetes mellitus requires attention as a critical medical issue in the health sector. Gestational Diabetes Mellitus impacts the practice of maternal care and delivery in the maternity wards. Nurses are tasked with the challenge of dealing with associated complications of newborns, and their mothers, who have had gestational diabetes. According to Mishra et al. (2018), induction of labor or the use of a caesarian section for birth options is critical in allowing nurses and mothers to deal with the impact of gestational diabetes mellitus. Ethical issues may arise relating to the management of mothers with gestational diabetes mellitus before and after Evidence Based Practice Final Proposal 4 birth, which may cause gaps in the nursing profession's quality of service (Mensah et al., 2020; Mijatovic-Vukas, 2018). Stakeholders Some of the relevant stakeholders will include the patients, the nurses, medical doctors, and hospital management, led by the medical superintendent. Approaching the proper management of gestational diabetes will benefit the hospital, as it stands a chance at being recognized as an institution with specialized care for mothers diagnosed with gestational diabetes. With this recognition, the hospital stands a chance at having more patients seeking help here, which improves their reputation and capacity to serve and ensure nursing practitioner expertise (Mensah et al., 2020; Di Guardo et al., 2019). The patients (mothers with gestational diabetes) will also benefit from the proposal by getting improved care by gaining specialized and highly technical care during pregnancy to prevent and manage the condition. Students will benefit from this proposal by gaining relevant knowledge on the management and prevention of gestational diabetes, especially from a nursing practitioner's perspective. Purpose/Objectives The project's goal is to develop measures on the options for the management of expectant mothers diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus.
