This study found that pregnant women who quit smoking and were in later stages of change were less likely to relapse postpartum. Tailored interventions supporting these stages can help women maintain smoking abstinence after childbirth.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • Postpartum smoking relapse is a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding women's readiness to quit is crucial for effective cessation interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the relationship between stages of change and postpartum smoking relapse.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the Transtheoretical Model for postpartum smoking cessation.

Main Methods:

  • Classified 256 women into precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, or action stages using a 3-item algorithm.
  • Utilized logistic regression and event history analyses to track smoking relapse at multiple postpartum time points.

Main Results:

  • Relapse rates decreased significantly with each successive stage of change.
  • At 6 weeks postpartum, relapse rates were 83% (precontemplation), 64% (contemplation), 35% (preparation), and 24% (action).

    • Conclusions:

    • The stages of change model effectively predicts postpartum smoking abstinence.
    • Stage-based interventions are recommended to support women in maintaining smoking cessation after childbirth.
