- Abstract
Secondhand Smoking (SHS) exposure had a great impact on health, especially among a vulnerable group like breastfeeding mothers and infants. No previous research was found on the risk of lower parenting quality with the risk of SHS exposure among infants. This research aimed to analyze the prevalence of SHS exposure at home in infants with family characteristics and parenting quality. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Magelang with 216 households that had an infant as a household member. SHS exposure at home and family characteristics assessed with a questionnaire and parenting quality assessed with HOMESF, divided into emotional support and cognitive stimulation. The prevalence of SHS at home was 81%. Family characteristics related were higher means of sum of children (t= -2.494; p=0.013), shorter birth spacing (t= -3.146; p=0.002), younger age of mother (t= -3.798; p=0.000) and father (t= -3.766; p=0.000), and shorter years of father education (t= -2.933; p=0.004) were significantly related to higher prevalence of SHS exposure at home.and also lower cognitive stimulation (F=2.705- p=0.046). Several family characteristics and also the quality of parenting identified as factors associated with infant SHS exposure at home. The high prevalence needs attention for intensive health promotion and consistent implementation of smoke-free legislation to protect infant and breastfeeding mothers from SHS exposure at home.
