| Abstract | Background Women and people diagnosed with diabetes in pregnancy, are recommended to have frequent monitoring and careful management for optimal pregnancy outcomes. This health care management should be supported by a multidisciplinary healthcare team. For individuals living in rural areas, there are increased barriers to healthcare access, with subsequent worse health outcomes compared to those in metropolitan regions. Despite this, there remains a lack of research into the experiences of healthcare delivery for rural women and people with diabetes in pregnancy. Methods Survey invitations were sent via the National Diabetes Services Scheme email list. The survey included multiple choice and open-ended questions. Responses from the open-ended question asking participants the changes they would want made to their care delivery were interpreted using qualitative content analysis. Responses were separated into metropolitan and rural categories using the Modified Monash Model criteria. Results There were 668 survey responses, with 409 responding to the open-ended qualitative survey question/s. 71.6% of respondents were metropolitan and 27.6% lived rurally. A total of 31 codes were established from the open-ended responses, with the five overarching themes of ‘quality of care’, ‘practice & communication’, ‘individual’s experience’, ‘access’ and ‘burden of care’ identified. The most frequently occurring codes irrespective of location included education or information (n = 45), frequency and timeliness of care (n = 42), no changes (n = 42) and improved health professional communication (n = 40). Local care options was the only code with more rural quotes compared to metropolitan. Conclusions The most frequently occurring codes had strong representation from metropolitan and rural respondents, indicating that those with previous diabetes in pregnancy had similar priorities for changes in their healthcare delivery regardless of location. Rural respondents identifying local care options as a priority for change is likely indicative of the rural healthcare landscape with limited access to care options. Recommendations from this study supported by previous research include focusing on improving health professional communication both with women and people with diabetes in pregnancy and with other relevant professionals. Recommendations for rural locations should focus on improving local care options whilst considering resource limitation, such as telehealth clinics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
