A modified Delphi study was conducted with a panel of 22 multidisciplinary experts to prioritize psychosocial support needs for pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The initial needs were identified through qualitative interviews and a systematic review. In two Delphi rounds, experts rated the importance of needs across four domains using a 10-point Likert scale. The highest-priority items across all domains were: attention to maternal worries and anxiety, husband and family support, inclusion of specialized nutrition counseling, timely diabetes education, and proper nutrition education. The prioritized needs are intended to guide the design of interventions to improve psychosocial health and adherence in this population.
