“…Meanwhile, the other three studies applied the clinical intervention where trained healthcare providers are given the responsibility to implement the intervention in a clinic or hospital-based setting. 15,17,18 The works of literature show that the involvement of healthcare providers in giving at least minimal advice on SHS exposure in pregnancy during antenatal visits further supports the idea that combining theory-driven intervention with clinical intervention maximizes the effect of preventive intervention. Hence, additional studies are required to determine the efficacy of the combination of theories and clinical intervention.…”

“…14 Only one study included both pregnant women and their smoking spouses in preventative intervention to improve the effectiveness of the intervention. 18 Even so, the works of literature showed that participation of both pregnant women and their smoking spouses is an important strategy to help pregnant women protect themselves from SHS exposure and simultaneously encourage their smoking spouses to quit smoking.…”

“…In addition, a quasi-randomized study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of family counselling for pregnant women who are exposed to SHS smoke at home using the BASNEF model. 18 The study was conducted on 103 pregnant women and their smoking spouses at health centres in Hamadan, Iran. The study included lectures, group discussions, brainstorming, questions and answers, and instructional brochures about the dangers and negative consequences of smoking on pregnant women and unborn children.…”

The alarming number of smokers have increased public health concerns regarding the effects of second-hand smoke (SHS) on non-smokers, especially amongst pregnant women and unborn babies. This paper aims to review the existing interventions used to reduce SHS exposure amongst non-smoking pregnant women. This review was guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) review method. Published articles were identified through three databases: ProQuest, Science Direct, and Scopus within the 2010–2021 timeframe. Articles related to the intervention to reduce SHS exposure among non-smoking pregnant women were included. Nine studies were identified and reviewed. Most of the preventive interventions primarily focused on pregnant women as the target group, whereas a few interventions directly focused on changing the smoking behaviour of their spouses. This review suggests that using theories as a foundation in designing the intervention effectively reduces exposure to SHS among non-smoking pregnant women. The main limitation as reported by most studies was the lack of biochemical verification. Thus, future intervention should consider both pregnant women and their smoking spouses as the target group and include relevant theories in clinical intervention.

“…The present study confirmed that motivational interviews could significantly reduce the exposure to secondhand smoke in the pregnant women in the intervention group compared to the control group. Similarly, Soltani et al showed that family counseling had a positive effect on decreasing the exposure to secondhand smoke at home among a sample of pregnant women ( 25 ).…”

Objective: Secondhand smoke (SHS) during pregnancy is associated with many maternal-fetal complications. Iran has a high male smoking prevalence rate. This study aimed to determine the effect of motivational interviewing with couples on exposure to SHS at home in pregnant women referring to health centers in Urmia in 2019. Materials and methods: A randomized control trial was performed on 112 non-smoking pregnant women with smoking husbands, randomly allocated into two groups (each with 56 members). The participants were asked to specify the daily average times and duration of exposure during the last week. Five motivational interviewing sessions were held for the members of the intervention group. Each session lasted90 minutes and two sessions were held per week. The data were collected before and four weeks after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) by SPSS-20 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: Of 112 couples who were randomized, 102 (91.07%) completed the trial. There was a significant reduction in terms of the daily frequency and duration of SHS exposure of the husband one week and one month after the intervention in the intervention group. The daily frequency and duration of SHS exposure of people other than the spouse at home did not decrease over time. Conclusion: Following the results of the study, the couple-based motivational interviewing approach can be used to reduce SHS exposure in women at home.

“…These highlights the necessity of SHS prevention intervention to educate the public on the harmful effects of SHS exposure toward pregnant women and their unborn babies, particularly to smoking spouses as the main source of SHS exposure at home 10,[13][14] The content of the intervention should emphasize both pregnant women and their smoking spouse since most of the interventions do not directly target that husband who smokes but provide the intervention to non-smoking pregnant women on ways to help their smoking husband to quit thus the real outcome of the intervention are inconclusive 15 . In addition, the involvement of smoking spouses in ensuring the health of their pregnant wives is important to increase awareness of the dangers of smoking and increase sensitivity to the need to prevent SHS exposure at home 16 . Pregnancy can be a motivating factor for changing the behavior of a smoking spouse 14 .…”

Introduction: Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure affects not only the maternal wellbeing but also unborn baby. This study aims to develop a spouse-based educational intervention to reduce SHS exposure by examining the understanding and perception of both pregnant women and their smoking spouses. Methods: Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method research design, this study will be conducted through four phases. In the first phase, a qualitative study will be conducted to examine the understanding and perception of pregnant women and their smoking spouses regarding secondhand smoke exposure. In the second phase, the content of the educational intervention will be designed based on the outcomes of the first phase and from the literature review. Validation of the designed intervention will be conducted by experts to assess the accuracy of the contents in phase 3. After the validation, a pilot study will be conducted to measure the comprehensiveness of the module. The feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention will be measured in phase four by a pre-test and post-test study design. Expected outcome and conclusion: The designed educational intervention module of SHS exposure can be used as a breakthrough point to empower non-smoking pregnant women to protect themselves from secondhand smoke exposure, and also to facilitate the smoking spouse to change their smoking behavior, and thus promote the smoke-free home.
