Abstract:
Despite the organization of smoking cessation program, the percentage of pregnant smokers remains too high in France. The knowledge of the factors limiting success of the attempt can help the smoking cessation.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the prevalence of depressive disorders in pregnant smokers compared to nonsmokers; assess their impact on motivation stopping smoking; verify their identification can be performed by midwives.
METHODS
Prospective multicenter survey on 792 women (435 smokers and 357 non-smokers), the assessment of the current depression is made by the Hospital Anxiety Depression scale, and motivation to quit smoking by the Richmond test.
RESULTS
Pregnant smokers compared to non-smokers, have more frequent depressive disorders (current: OR=2.4; history: OR=2). These problems do not decrease the motivation to quit, they are associated with a high nicotine dependence and low socioeconomic levels. Their testing can be done by midwives.
CONCLUSIONS
Systematic screening for depression in pregnant women smoking could facilitate smoking cessation.
