Smoking during pregnancy is common for women all around the world. Some women can be encouraged to stop smoking by encouraging them to think about the health of their child but sometimes motivation alone is not sufficient. They might need the support and guidance from the nurse to quit smoking. This thesis highlights the negative effects of prenatal smoking on pregnancy outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth and infant mortality. This thesis describes the harmful chemicals found in cigarettes such as tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide and how they are absorbed into the foetus.
The objective of this thesis is to produce an educational video for Centria’s nursing students that will provide knowledge about how to motivate and empower expectant mothers to quit smoking to enhance both their own and their children's long-term health. It also emphasizes the need for smoking cessation interventions to reduce the risks and improve maternal and foetal health outcomes. The study also examines the challenges that pregnant women encounter while attempting to give up smoking.
The preparation of this thesis and an educational video are created in cooperation with Centria’s nursing teachers which is based on evidence-based articles, journals and books. In conclusion, this thesis provides guidance about quitting smoking during pregnancy and offers healthcare practitioners, public health experts on how to help pregnant women to quit smoking.
