Tobacco use is a global health problem, including in Taiwan. The present study evaluated the perceived risk of smoking and second-hand smoke among pregnant Taiwanese women using a questionnaire. Seven hundred twenty-four pregnant Taiwanese women were recruited from an online parenting community using convenience sampling in 2013. Pregnant smokers and non-smokers had significantly different perceptions regarding risk of smoking and second-hand smoke during pregnancy. Pregnant non-smokers adopted more behaviors to avoid second-hand smoke both at home and in public than pregnant smokers. We conclude that perceived fetal health risks from smoking and second-hand smoke influenced maternal behavior during pregnancy. Pregnant women's perceptions of the risk of tobacco smoke depended on whether their focus in the decision-making process was on prevention or promotion. Understanding the risk factors associated with smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke during pregnancy may help in developing strategies to reduce such exposure.
吸烟是一个全球性的健康问题,在台湾地区也不例外。本研究通过问卷调查评估了台湾孕妇对吸烟和二手烟危害的认知。2013年,采用便利抽样法从一个在线育儿社区招募了724名台湾孕妇。孕期吸烟的孕妇和不吸烟的孕妇对吸烟及二手烟危害的认知存在显著差异。与孕期吸烟的孕妇相比,不吸烟的孕妇在家庭和公共场所采取了更多避免接触二手烟的行为。我们得出结论,对吸烟和二手烟危害胎儿健康的认知影响了孕期的母亲行为。孕妇对烟草烟雾危害的认知取决于她们在决策过程中关注的是预防还是促进。了解孕期吸烟及接触二手烟的相关风险因素,可能有助于制定减少此类接触的策略。
