Abstract

        This predictive research was aimed to explore factors predicting preventive behavior regarding adverse effects of cigarette smoke among pregnant women. The sample were 130 pregnant women who visited antenatal clinic at King Narai Hospital located in Lopburi Province. Data collected by questionnaires included demographic data, preventive behavior regarding adverse effects of cigarette smoke, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, perceived self-efficacy and social support for prevention from adverse effects of cigarette smoke. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression.

        The research results revealed that the average score for preventive behavior regarding adverse effects of cigarette smoke was 31.53 (SD = 4.68). Factors that significantly predicted preventive behavior regarding adverse effects of cigarette smoke were social support and perceived barriers to prevention regarding adverse effects of cigarette smoke (β = .63, p < .001 and β = -.16, p = .026, respectively). The total variance explained by these factors among the sample was 50.9 percent (F(2, 127) = 65.72, p < .001).

        The research results could be used to develop the program promoting the participation of husbands or other family members to protect pregnant women from adverse effects of cigarette smoke.
