Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Aboriginal pregnant women who smoke experience barriers to quitting, including challenges to social and emotional well-being, but these are infrequently quantified. Finding an appropriate measurement tool in this setting is crucial to increase knowledge for holistic smoking cessation interventions.
AIMS: To pilot the Growth and Empowerment Measure (GEM) with a sample of pregnant Aboriginal women who smoke.
METHODS: Aboriginal women participating in the step-wedge ICAN QUIT in Pregnancy pilot study completed the GEM comprised of 14-item Emotional Empowerment Scale (EES14), 12 Scenarios (12S), and K6 items at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Qualitative interviews with service staff were held at the end of the study to assess feasibility.
RESULTS: 15 pregnant Aboriginal women took part between November 2016 and July 2017. At 12 weeks,
CONCLUSIONS: A shortened, modified GEM is recommended in this setting. We recommend the GEM to be tested in a larger study, powered to assess its associations with smoking behaviours.
