This study aims to identify the prevalence of postpartum T2DM screening and its associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 116 pregnant women with GDM who attended antenatal care follow-up at government health clinics in Seremban District, Negeri Sembilan. Multistage cluster sampling was performed to recruit the respondents from 6 mukims and 10 public health clinics. The data were collected using a validated and pre-tested questionnaire, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.81 to 0.95 for each section of the questionnaire. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews during the respondents’ routine antenatal follow-ups for blood sugar monitoring. Results: Poor knowledge on postpartum T2DM screening (55.2%) was observed, which was significantly predicted by low educational level (AOR = 6.898, 95% CI 3.62–9.055) and low self-efficacy (AOR =17.905, 95% CI 5.470–58.611). Conclusion: Most of the respondents had poor knowledge regarding postpartum T2DM screening, which was predicted by low education and self-efficacy. The findings highlight the need for continuous education and health promotion during antenatal follow-up targeting women with GDM with low self-efficacy and education level in order to ensure better adherence to screening.
