Participants were divided into an experimental group (receiving diversified high-quality nursing, n=90) and a control group (receiving routine nursing, n=90) based on different nursing methods. Statistical analysis of medical records was conducted using t-tests and chi-square tests to compare clinical data and evaluate the effectiveness of diversified high-quality nursing services.Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (P> 0.05). After intervention, the experimental group showed significant improvements in core indicators such as fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, S-AI/T-AI anxiety score, postoperative VAS pain score, NABA neonatal neurobehavioral score, and nursing satisfaction score compared to the control group (P< 0.05).Conclusion: This study validates the effectiveness of diversified high-quality nursing in improving maternal and infant outcomes in GDM, providing evidence-based support for optimizing obstetric nursing models.Keywords: gestational diabetes mellitus, high-quality nursing, postpartum care, maternal and infant conditions
