Abstract :

Anaemia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are prevalent comorbid conditions during pregnancy that significantly affect maternal health and fetal development. This study investigates the interrelationship between anaemia and GDM, their individual and synergistic influence on behavioural alterations, and the consequent implications for quality of life (QoL) among pregnant women. Conducted at a tertiary healthcare facility, this research integrates clinical assessments with psychological evaluations, employing standardized tools and biochemical markers to evaluate the impact of these conditions. The results reveal that women affected by both anaemia and GDM exhibit exacerbated mood disturbances, higher stress indices, and reduced physical vitality, which collectively diminish QoL. A holistic approach, combining timely clinical interventions and structured psychological counselling, demonstrated improved outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary maternal care in mitigating pregnancy-related complications and enhancing overall well-being.
