Moreover, behavioral regulation can be affected by attachment styles. Thus, our study aimed to identify common GDM perception profiles and test their association with attachment styles.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In this cross-sectional study, 446 women completed the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and additional items about GDM diagnosis, information, competence, adherence, behavioral change. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to determine GDM perception profiles. Multinomial logistic regression followed to calculate the association between GDM perception profiles and attachment styles.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Three distinct profiles emerged: coping (n\u2009=\u2009172, 38.6%)\u2014characterized by the most positive GDM perception, burdened (n\u2009=\u2009222, 49.8%)\u2014indicating the emotional burden of the disease, and resourceless (n\u2009=\u200952, 11.7%)\u2014reporting lack of resources (i.e. information, competence). Women with insecure attachment styles were more likely to develop a burdened GDM perception profile. Specifically, the expression of a fearful (OR\u2009=\u20091.184 [95%CI: 1.03; 1.36], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.016) and a preoccupied (OR\u2009=\u20091.154 [95%CI: 1.01; 1.32], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037) attachment style increased the likelihood for a burdened perception profile, while a secure attachment style (OR\u2009=\u200910.791 [95%CI: 0.65; 0.96], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.017) decreased likelihood for developing resourceless GDM perception profile.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Three GDM perception profiles were identified and the role of attachment styles in shaping these perceptions was confirmed.
