Abstract:

Pregnancy smoking self-stigma may be associated with mental health and smoking cessation. This study aims to validate the Pregnant Smoker Stigma Scale - Self-Stigma (P3S-SS) assessing perceived and internalized stigma. Between May 2021 and May 2022, French pregnant smokers recruited online (n = 143) took the P3S-SS and other scales assessing depressive symptoms (EPDS), social inclusion (SIS), dissimulation, dependence (CDS-5), cessation self-efficacy (SEQ), and intention. The two versions of the scale include four dimensions: derogatory cognitions ("People think/I feel I am selfish"), negative emotions and behaviors ("People make me feel/smoking makes me feel guilty"), personal distress ("People/I feel sorry for me/myself"), and information provision ("People tell me/I think about the risks of smoking"). Confirmatory factor analyses and multiple regressions have been computed. Model fit was good for perceived stigma and internalized stigma (X2/df = 3.06, RMSEA = .124, AGFI = .982, SRMR = .068, CFI = .986, NNFI = .985; X2/df = 3.31, RMSEA = .14, AGFI = .977, SRMR = .087, CFI = .981, NNFI = .979). Controlling for dependence, cessation intention was positively predicted by perceived and internalized personal distress and negatively predicted by perceived negative emotions and behaviors (Adj R² = .143, F(8,115) = 3.567, p = .001). Controlling for dependence, dissimulation was positively predicted by internalized negative cognitions and perceived personal distress and negatively predicted by internalized personal distress (Adj R² = .19, F(9,98) = 3.785, p = .000). The P3S-SS opens up exciting avenues for further research. Stigma does not motivate women to stop smoking but increases distress and dissimulation.

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress Prevention and Stress Management Techniques IV

Stress often leads to unhealthy habits like smoking, excessive drinking, and overeating, which offer short-term relief but ultimately increase long-term health risks. These behaviors create a cycle that temporarily lowers stress levels but can result in severe long-term health consequences. Breaking these habits is essential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases and improve overall well-being. Three primary changes that support better health include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake,...

Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data

Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:
