Smoking During Gravidity From The Perspective of Women
Keywords:
midwifery, nicotinism, health repercussionsAbstract
Background: We investigated opinion of respondents (women) on smoking during pregnancy, knowledge of women about negative effects of active and passive smoking, prevalence and intensity of smoking before and during gravidity, information source.
File and methods: Researched sample consisted of 240 respondents deliberately selected. We used questionnaire method. Results were statistically processed.
Results: We found that awareness of women on negative effects is good. 78 women smoked before pregnancy and 15% out of them continued smoking even during pregnancy. Women source information mostly from mass media. Representation of midwives in information provision is alarmingly low (3%).
Conclusion: We propose to strengthen the educational impact of midwives in primary health care and we stress the importance of legislative support of educational activities of midwives.
