摘要： In this study, we conducted an empirical survey of the avoidance behaviors and risk perceptions of active and passive smoking pregnant smokers and recent quitters. We employed an online questionnaire survey by recruiting 166 voluntary participants from an online parenting community in Taiwan. The results of the empirical survey revealed that three-fourths of smokers quit smoking during pregnancy and one-fourth continued smoking. All pregnant women who continued smoking had partners or lived with relatives who smoked. Current smokers and quitters differed significantly in their risk perceptions and attitudes toward smoking during pregnancy. Most pregnant smokers and quitters adopted passive smoking avoidance behaviors at home and in public. Nevertheless, one-fifth of pregnant women chose not to avoid passive smoking. We concluded that most women stop smoking during pregnancy; however, most women continue to be exposed to passive-smoking environments. Perceived fetal health risks and attitudes toward smoking during pregnancy are critical predictors of the anti-smoking behaviors of pregnant women. 其他題名： Int J Environ Res Public Health 出版者： Switzerland: MDPI AG 出版日期： 2013-09-03 出處： International journal of environmental research and public health, 2013-09, Vol.10 (9), p.4104-4116 資源來源： Publicly available content database 版權： Copyright Molecular Diversity Preservation International Sep 2013 版權： 2013 by the authors; licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. 2013 識別號： ISSN: 1660-4601 識別號： ISSN: 1661-7827 識別號： EISSN: 1660-4601 識別號： DOI: 10.3390/ijerph10094104 識別號： PMID: 24005830
