<![CDATA[Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is a health condition that increases during pregnancy and can lead to serious complications for both the mother and the fetus. Self-management, encompassing understanding, implementing, and maintaining health behaviors, is crucial in managing GDM. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a theoretical framework that can serve as the basis for interventions to enhance self-efficacy in pregnant women with GDM. This study analyzes the relationship between self-efficacy and self-management in controlling gestational diabetes in pregnant women. It is a literature review using a literature search method. Literature searches were conducted through three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, covering articles published between 2014 and 2024. The search utilized MeSH keywords such as "Gestational Diabetes Mellitus," "Self-Efficacy," and "Intervention Self-Management." The search yielded seven English articles that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was conducted narratively, referring to the identified literature findings. Literature review findings indicate a positive correlation between the implementation of Health Belief Model-based self-management and the improvement of self-efficacy in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Factors such as risk understanding, perception of benefits, and understanding of barriers are crucial in influencing self-efficacy levels. Applying the HBM contributes to enhancing the ability of pregnant women to engage in self-management. This intervention effectively boosts the confidence of pregnant women in managing dietary patterns, physical activity, and blood glucose monitoring, assisting them in coping with gestational diabetes.]]>
