Abstract
Perceived stress and depressive symptoms were examined as
correlates and predictors of smoking cessation during pregnancy in a
sample of 819 pregnant smokers (454 baseline smokers and 365
baseline quitters). Women who quit early in pregnancy had lower
levels of stress and depressive symptoms than baseline smokers.
Adjusting for level of addiction and other demographic factors
related to stress and depressive symptoms eliminated the significant
association between depressive symptoms and smoking cessation. Lower
levels of stress and depressive symptoms were not predictive of
cessation in later pregnancy. Prenatal healthcare providers should
continue to assess level of addiction and provide targeted intensive
cessation interventions. Interventions that reduce stress and
depression may also be of benefit to women who are continuing
smokers in early pregnancy.
