Abstract

Pregnant women exposed to secondhand smoke may face an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, particularly during the perinatal period. Despite these risks, exposure to household tobacco smoke among pregnant women remains a concern, including in the service area of Sukawati I Community Health Center. This study aimed to examine the association between husbands' knowledge and attitudes regarding the effects of secondhand smoke exposure on pregnancy in the service area of Sukawati I Community Health Center, Gianyar Health Office. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire. A probability sampling technique with simple random sampling was employed, involving 42 husbands from 13 banjars (traditional neighborhood units) in Sukawati. Data were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation test. The findings showed that most respondents had good knowledge of the effects of secondhand smoke exposure on pregnancy. Most respondents also demonstrated positive attitudes toward preventing such exposure. However, the Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed a very weak positive relationship between husbands' knowledge and attitudes (r = 0.163), which was not statistically significant (p = 0.301). These findings indicate that husbands' knowledge levels were not significantly associated with their attitudes toward secondhand smoke exposure during pregnancy.
