Tobacco use during pregnancy is associated with adverse child outcomes. There is evidence that religiosity/spirituality is associated with less tobacco use. This study aims to investigate the association further, including an assessment of overall religiousness and specific aspects of religiosity/spirituality.
404 pregnant women receiving prenatal care in three southern obstetrics practices were surveyed regarding religiosity/ spirituality, other psychosocial characteristics, and recent tobacco.
Recent tobacco use was reported by 8% of study participants. In multivariable modeling, black race (OR = 0.32), social support (OR = 0.92), and overall religiousness (OR = 0.57) were significantly associated with lower odds of reporting recent tobacco use. Participation in organized religious activities and self-rated religiosity were the religious/spiritual measures most strongly associated with lower odds of tobacco use.
More religious/spiritual women appear to be less likely to use tobacco during pregnancy. Additional research is needed to investigate potential pathways for this association.
孕期吸烟与不良儿童结局相关。有证据表明宗教信仰/精神信仰与较少吸烟有关。本研究旨在进一步探讨这种关联，包括对整体宗教信仰和宗教信仰/精神信仰的具体方面进行评估。
对在南方三家产科诊所接受产前护理的404名孕妇进行了关于宗教信仰/精神信仰、其他心理社会特征和近期吸烟情况的调查。
8%的研究参与者报告近期吸烟。在多变量模型中，黑人种族（OR = 0.32）、社会支持（OR = 0.92）和整体宗教信仰（OR = 0.57）与报告近期吸烟几率较低显著相关。参与有组织的宗教活动和自我评定的宗教信仰是与吸烟几率较低最密切相关的宗教/精神信仰指标。
宗教信仰/精神信仰较强的女性在孕期似乎不太可能吸烟。需要进一步研究来调查这种关联的潜在途径。
