Traditional health education interventions have shown positive effects, but adherence to lifestyle management and motivation for continued postpartum care still require improvement. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive structured program for Chinese women with GDM to improve adherence to lifestyle management and motivation for postpartum care, thereby reducing future T2DM risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The development of this program was divided into five steps: (1) Analysis: a summary of evidence and the analysis of needs, population characteristics, teaching content, and teaching environment; (2) Design: the design of learning objectives, teaching logic, and teaching strategies; (3) Development: the creation and development of teaching materials; (4) Implementation: the evaluation of scientific validity and rationality through an expert meeting and trial sessions; (5) Evaluation: formative and summative assessments. Finally, a pilot test was conducted to evaluate its feasibility and acceptability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Learning objectives were set in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, with a total of 189 items. The program consisted of five sessions, including: understanding GDM, nutrition and physical activity guidelines, expecting moms\u2014are you ready, postpartum weight management, and reinforcing healthy behaviors. In addition, there was a session specifically for women starting insulin treatment, with the theme: timely insulin injection. Teaching materials included lesson plans, teaching posters, food cards, and a mother\u2019s handbook, etc., totaling 11 items. The pilot study included eight women with GDM, all of whom expressed a positive acceptance of the program.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The feasibility and acceptability of the program were confirmed, and a final version was developed.
