Pregnancy Risk Perception Scale (GRP)

The scale was developed by Heaman and Gupton (2009) to assess the risk perception of pregnant women. The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was conducted by Evcili and Dağlar (2019) . The risk perception scale consists of 9 items and 2 sub-dimensions. The scale is a visual analog measurement tool. The scale consists of 9 items and 2 factors. There is a 0-100 mm linear line immediately below each item in the scale, indicating "no risk" and "extremely high risk". The total score of the scale is found by adding the scores for each of the nine items and dividing the obtained score by 9. A score can also be made for the factors of the scale: The score for the "Risk perception of the pregnant woman towards her baby" factor is found by adding the scores for each of the 5 items under this factor and dividing the obtained score by 5. The score for the "Risk perception of the pregnant woman towards herself" factor is obtained by add

Self-Efficacy Scale in Gestational Diabetes (GESGD):

Developed by Polat and Avdal (2020), the Self-Efficacy Scale in Gestational Diabetes is a five-point Likert-type scale consisting of 23 items and four sub-dimensions. The total Cronbach alpha value of the scale was determined as 0.654. Its sub-dimensions are Diet and Weight Management, Complication Precautions, Nutrition Education Compliance and Medical Treatment Applications. It has been emphasized that as the score to be obtained from the scale increases as a result of the coding of the positive and negative expressions in the scale, the individual's self-efficacy will increase and that he/she will be able to effectively perform his/her own care as a result of the training he/she receives.
