“…One significant challenge was the participants’ lack of recognition of harmful substances, leading to inadequate avoidance practices. This finding aligns with another study that highlighted pregnant women’s unawareness of the adverse effects of second-hand smoke on pregnancy outcomes (Yavagal et al, 2021 ). It suggests that women may take proactive measures to minimize their exposure if they are aware of potentially harmful substances and effective strategies to limit exposure.…”

Background: The exposure of unborn babies to harmful substances during prenatal stages can lead to fetal anomalies, emphasizing the significance of pregnant women’s practices in ensuring optimal fetal outcomes. However, there is a lack of understanding regarding this issue from the perspective of pregnant women. Objective: This study aimed to describe the experiences of pregnant women in avoiding harmful substances to their unborn babies. Methods: This study used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected between September 2020 and April 2021 through in-depth interviews with 17 pregnant women purposively selected from two hospitals in southern Thailand. Data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four themes emerged from the participants’ experiences: 1) understanding of harms, which included substance characteristics, exposure characteristics, body’s protective mechanism, personal experiences, and obtained information; 2) practices for safety, which consisted of food safety, work safety, ambient air safety, and safety in personal/household products; 3) challenges in avoiding harmful substances, which were unrecognition, unavailability of safe substances, discomfort and inconvenience, inevitability, and family traditions; and 4) overcoming the challenges through personal changes, obtaining support, and ensuring a peaceful mind. Conclusion: The findings provide valuable insights into prenatal exposure to harmful substances, which can serve as a basis for developing comprehensive guidelines for best practices. It is crucial for nurses to receive training that enables them to educate pregnant women, enhancing their awareness of important harmful substances and promoting effective methods for maintaining safety in their daily activities. Additionally, nurses can develop interventions to empower pregnant women to overcome challenges by involving significant individuals, particularly family members, in providing support and creating an optimal prenatal environment.

“…Moreover, participants ensured ambient air safety by maintaining distance (e.g., staying at home, securely closing the house, and relocating) and reducing exposure (e.g., covering their noses and holding their breath). Similarly, pregnant women distance themselves from second-hand smoke exposure (Yavagal et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Among the exposed population, more than half (53.6%) of the participants reported that they were exposed from husband which is inconsistent with another study conducted in Pondicherry, India where 83.33% participants were exposed from husband 12 . 46.7% of our participants reported that they were exposed to Secondhand smoking daily which is nearly similar with another study in India where 50.6% exposed daily and 43.1% of our respondents exposed occasionally which is much higher than the study in India (13.5%) 13 .…”

“…Poor oral health has adverse effects on overall health, including significant associations with aspiration pneumonia and major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, and stroke. [28][29][30] In the literature, although there have been many studies evaluating the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of some patient groups such as children, 31 adults, 32 adolescents, 33 students, 34,35 pregnant women, 36 parents with disabled children, 37 people with diabetes 38 and the oral health knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of professional groups such as teachers, 39 obstetricians, gynecologists, 40 no study has been focused on the oral health knowledge, attitudes and behaviors of clinicians dealing with dysphagia. In the present research, a significant difference was found between the knowledge, attitude and behavior levels of the clinicians and their oral health education status.…”

AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of dysphagia clinicians regarding oral health care.Methodology and ResultsAn 11‐question and 37‐statement survey inquiring the clinicians' descriptive information, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to oral health was administered via Google forms. A total of 234 dysphagia clinicians responded on behalf of themselves. The findings showed that 41.5% (n = 97) of the clinicians had a high level of knowledge about oral health. There was a significant relationship between the level of oral health knowledge and the clinicians' oral health education (p < .05). A percentage of 6.4 (n = 15) of the clinicians had a high level of attitude toward oral health. Oral health education status of clinicians and their profession was significantly related to the attitude toward oral health (p < .05). Most of the clinicians (44.0%, n = 103) had low behavior level. The level of behavior was significantly associated with status of receiving oral health education, their professions, duration of experience, and institution (p < .05).ConclusionsThe study showed that clinicians exhibit moderate mean knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors scores, and these states are significantly associated with oral health education. This can serve as a stimulus for clinicians caring for dysphagia patients to receive oral health education during their university education.
