“…However, this study used a convenience sample that was largely homogenous and the findings may not be comparable to our study. By and large, existing literature has provided inconsistent findings [ 17 , 19 , 25 – 30 , 32 , 35 – 38 ]. While some studies reported that social support was positively associated with smoking during pregnancy, others have shown a weak association or a negative association.…”

BackgroundSmoking during pregnancy and a lack of social support have been identified as independent risk factors for poor birth outcomes. However, the influence of social support on smoking during pregnancy remains under-investigated. This study examined the association between domains of social support and smoking during pregnancy.MethodsPregnant women during their first trimester, attending three inner-city clinics were surveyed using self-administered questionnaires (N=227). Social support was measured using the Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL). Three domains of social support (tangible, appraisal, and belonging) were examined. Multiple logistic regressions were conducted; Odds Ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.ResultsPer unit increase in the total composite social support scale, there was a 6% increased odds of smoking during pregnancy. There was a statistically significant interaction between race and social support. While the tangible support (OR=1.15; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.27) and appraisal (OR=1.17; 95% CI: 1.05, 1.31) domains were significantly associated with smoking among African American women, only the belonging support domain was significantly associated with smoking during pregnancy among Caucasian women (OR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.40).ConclusionsThis study provided evidence that racial differences may exist in the way social support influences smoking during pregnancy. Future studies are needed to understand these racial differences and assist in the design of interventions. Considering the importance of social support, strategies for smoking cessation intervention should consider racial difference.

“…In addition to the benefits from adequate prenatal care, women's health practices during pregnancy also contribute positively to maternal health and improved pregnancy outcomes; However, findings on the relationship of social support to maternal health behaviors during pregnancy have been inconsistent. Some researchers have found very weak or no relationship between social support and tobacco and alcohol use during pregnancy (Casper & Hogan, 1990;Stephens, 1985), whereas others have found increased (Coleman, Ryan, & Williamson, 1989) or decreased (Albrecht & Rankin, 1989;Norwood, 1994) substance use. Alcohol consumption and tobacco use patterns of family members and friends may have a stronger influence on women's smoking and drinking behavior during pregnancy than perceived social support (Aaronson, 1989;Casper & Hogan, 1990;Stephens, 1985).…”

“…Gervasio (1986) notes that while the family and significant others are often described as important in enhancing compliance, few investigators have systematically examined the relationship between support and compliance. However, investigators have found that the perception of high levels of social support enhances self-care, self-manage-ment, and positive health care behaviors (Coleman, Ryan, & Williamson, 1989;Holm, Fink, Christman, Reitz, & Ashley, 1985;Hubbard, Muhlenkamp, & Brown, 1984;Gillett, 1988;Muhlenkamp & Sayles, 1986). While these findings suggest that social support mobilizes an individual's coping resources, other researchers note that social support may have differential effects on compliance depending on the values and expectations of the social network (Heitzmann & Kaplan, 1984;Kaplan, Chadwick, & Schimmel, 1985;Kaplan & Hartwell, 1987).…”

The purpose of this study was to determine if selected cognitive-perceptual variables discriminated between individuals who complied with antiepileptic medication therapy and those who did not. Individuals attending an epilepsy clinic and meeting specified criteria were asked to participate. Data from 64 individuals--39 who were classified as compliant and 25 noncompliant--were analyzed using discriminant analysis. The findings revealed that intimacy/assistance, social integration/affirmation of worth, unpredictability, and ambiguity were helpful in discriminating compliant from noncompliant individuals.
