Postpartum women who quit smoking are categorized into four groups based on their perceived benefits and self-efficacy. These clusters predict relapse risk, informing tailored interventions for sustained smoking cessation.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Addiction Medicine

Background:

  • Smoking cessation during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and infant health.
  • Understanding the factors influencing sustained smoking abstinence postpartum is essential for effective interventions.
  • The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) provides a framework for understanding behavior change.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe postpartum women who smoked before pregnancy based on perceived advantages/disadvantages of nonsmoking and self-efficacy.
  • To identify distinct clusters of these women to inform tailored intervention strategies.
  • To assess the predictive validity of identified clusters for smoking relapse.

Main Methods:

  • A population-based sample of 317 women who were smoke-free at childbirth after smoking pre-pregnancy.

  • Data collected on TTM constructs (stages of change, perceived pros/cons, self-efficacy).
  • Cluster analysis identified groups; logistic regression validated clusters; smoking status assessed at 12 months.

    • Main Results:

    • The acquisition stages of change construct did not fit the study population.
    • Four distinct clusters of postpartum ex-smokers were identified: protected, high risk, premature, and ambivalent.
    • These clusters were significantly associated with smoking relapse at 12 months.

    Conclusions:

    • The TTM constructs, excluding acquisition stages, aid in understanding postpartum nonsmokers.
    • Identified clusters offer a basis for developing targeted interventions to prevent smoking relapse.
    • Further research is needed to replicate clusters and test tailored intervention efficacy.
