Given the dearth of information on self-empowerment among mothers with GDM, a self-care health education package needs to be developed to prevent related complications. Objective: This review aimed to identify self-care approaches, domains, and their effectiveness for a proper self-care educational guide package for women with GDM. Design: A systematic review using electronic literature databases published between January 2016 and December 2022 was conducted. Data Sources: Web of Science, Scopus, and Ovid databases were used.

Each part of the prescription can induce many problems and create numerous inaccuracies, such as: incorrect determination of the level of payment for the drug, incorrectly prescribed dosage of the drug or the lack of a medical stamp with the doctor's corrections. Such frequent errors can often cause communication problems between the doctor, the patient and the pharmacist, and affect the perception of the doctor and pharmacist's professional prestige by patients. From this point of view, it seems justified to be necessary to modify the existing prescription pattern and introduce to it the kind of changes that would enable complete pharmaceutical care and self-treatment of patients.
