The present study was designed to investigate the effect of solution-focused counseling on mental health and self-efficacy in women with gestational diabetes. This study was a randomized clinical trial with a parallel design. Fifty-six women with gestational diabetes completed DASS (Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale) and DMSES (Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale) in both groups immediately and eight weeks after the last day of the intervention. Solution-focused counseling was performed in six 60-minute sessions for six weeks. The subjects in the control group received routine care. The analytical statistic of  t -test, chi-square, and variance analysis with repeated measurements using SPSS were used to analyze the data. The mean score of stress was 11.7 ± 9.09 in the posttest and 7.25 ± 6.25 eight weeks after the intervention. Also, scores in the control group were 13.5 ± 7.47 and 13.29 ± 6.99, respectively ( P  = .00). The mean score of anxiety in the intervention and control groups was 9.93 ± 7.80 vs. 9.64 ± 6.30 immediately after the intervention, and 5.79 ± 4.53 vs. 9.64 ± 5.96 eight weeks after the intervention ( P  = .00). Diabetes management self-efficacy was significant too ( P  = .001). Solution-focused group counseling improved the mental health of pregnant women with gestational diabetes. This method increased diabetic self-efficacy in these clients by controlling stress and anxiety and decreasing depression. IRCT: The code of this clinical trial study is IRCT20200202046339N1.
