Participants were assessed at three time points: 24– 28 gestational weeks, 29– 35 gestational weeks, and 36– 40 gestational weeks. The data collected included general demographic information and the level of blood glucose management protection motivation. A growth mixture model was employed to examine the trajectory of blood glucose management protection motivation, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of the trajectory. This study was reported following the Reporting Observational Longitudinal Research statement.Results: The study identified two distinct trajectories of blood glucose management protection motivation: a low-motivation group (slowly increasing then rapidly declining; 124, 39.62%) and a high-motivation group (rapidly then increasing slowly declining; 189, 60.38%). The independent predictors of these trajectory categories included age, per capita monthly household income, and pregnancy complications.Conclusion: Significant heterogeneity existed in the developmental trajectories of blood glucose management protection motivation among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Future research should prioritize developing targeted interventions that consider not only different developmental trajectories but also factors such as age, per capita monthly household income, and pregnancy complications. These strategies may foster blood glucose management protection motivation among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, addressing their specific needs and enhancing the effectiveness of care.Keywords: blood glucose management, gestational diabetes mellitus, longitudinal study, protection motivation, trajectories |
