Abstract
Abstract
Smoking is the number one modifiable risk factor in planning for a healthy pregnancy and baby. Broome County remains a high use area with 20% prevalence of smoking at some point during pregnancy (M&BPN, 2019). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of our educational video in improving knowledge and self-efficacy regarding nicotine product use for people during their postpartum hospital stay. The Perinatal Tobacco Attitude and Behavior Survey was used to measure change in knowledge and self efficacy after viewing our video. Of 91 participants, 48.4% were self-reported lifetime smokers and 13.2% were current users. Results indicated an increase in knowledge of risks of nicotine exposure during (p=0.033) and after pregnancy (p<0.001). Additional research is needed to better examine the effect on self-efficacy and to determine if improved knowledge will result in behavior change in nicotine use.
