“…Considering the proportion of male and female smokers in Indonesia [7], the majority of married male smokers have non-smoking wives, with whom they form so-called single-smoker couples [8]. Research among Western smokers has shown that having a non-smoking spouse is associated with a higher intention to stop smoking [9] and a greater chance of actually stopping [10].…”

Smoking-Related Social Control in Indonesian Single-Smoker Couples

Background The majority of Indonesian smokers are men and those who are married nearly always have a non-smoking wife (i.e. single-smoker couples). Previous studies have suggested that Indonesian women dislike smoking. However, contesting their husbands’ smoking could be seen as disrespectful. In this study, we examine whether, and if so how, wives employ social control tactics to change their husbands’ smoking and how the smokers perceive the tactics. Method In-depth interviews (N = 12) with five single-smoker couples (N = 10 individual interviews) and two non-smoking wives of smokers (N = 2) were conducted in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. We used a social control framework and thematic analysis approach to analyse the transcribed interviews. Results Three themes emerged from smokers and their wives: (1) although the wives know that smoking is bad, they have to tolerate it, (2) wives and their husbands find it important to maintain harmony and (3) their family’s needs serve as common ground. All the wives interviewed exerted social control to some degree, especially when they were pregnant or had children. Smokers reacted positively to social control and agreed to child-related house rules, but not to requests to give up smoking. Conclusion Wives do exert social control and smokers are willing to accommodate and adapt their smoking. However, wives’ influence on smoking may be limited in Indonesia, and focusing on managing their husbands’ smoking at home rather than overall smoking might be more fruitful.

“…This may be due in part to the fact that current clinical practice guidelines for smoking cessation do not include social support as a part of evidence-based interventions (U.S. Department of Health and Human Service, 2008). More recent studies, however, provide better understanding of couple dynamics related to smoking and partner support (Britton et al, 2019;Lüscher et al, 2018aLüscher et al, , 2018b. Such evidence provides valuable opportunities to reevaluate the roles of social contexts in relation to smoking and strategies to facilitate effective partner support, which then may lead to improvement in effectiveness of couplebased interventions.…”

“…However, it is not clear which theoretical constructs increased partner support. More recently, longitudinal dyadic data from various methodologies, including EMA and daily diaries, provided greater insights into couple dynamics during cessation processes (Britton et al, 2019;Lüscher et al, 2018aLüscher et al, , 2018b. A better understanding of couple dynamics is critical to promote effective partner support, leading to successful cessation outcomes and relational satisfaction.…”

“…Special attention to partners is needed because among family members, spouses are most willing to provide support for smoking cessation (McDonnell et al, 2016). Furthermore, the methodologies on partner support for smoking cessation have advanced considerably and now include daily diaries (Lüscher et al, 2018a(Lüscher et al, , 2018b and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) (Britton et al, 2019). These newer methodologies provide real time data in natural settings, thus maximizing ecological validity and reducing recall bias (Shiffman et al, 2008).…”

Background: Smoking is formed and reinforced in social networks. Smoking interventions have incorporated social networks, especially partners, to promote smoking cessation. This review provides a synthesized review on the effectiveness of couple-based smoking cessation interventions. Methods: A systematic review of peer-reviewed studies of experimental, couple-based smoking cessation interventions, published in English, was conducted. Database searching of CINAHL, PubMed, and SCOPUS and citation review resulted in 2170 articles for reviews. Abstract and initial review screening excluded 2,126, leaving 44 for full-text review. Further exclusions based on type of intervention and reported outcomes left a total of 11 studies to be included in the analysis. Results: Two major outcomes were reported among the 11 studies: long-term quit rates (≥6 months post-intervention) and aspects of the couple’s relationship (e.g., satisfaction, adjustment, and partner support). Only two studies showed significant differences in long-term quit rates compared to control groups. Five studies reported outcomes of couples’ relationships, yet none of the five promoted partner support in the intervention, which may have limited the effectiveness of couple-based interventions. One study observed higher levels of partner support among quitters than continued smokers. A large heterogeneity of target populations was also observed. Conclusions: Current literature does not support the effectiveness of couple-based smoking interventions. Future studies need to re-evaluate the role of partners and partner support to facilitate effective partner support and increase the likelihood of success in smoking cessation among smoker couples. Limitations of the current literature and suggestions for future research are discussed.

“…Empirical evidence has shown that, social support may influence an individual physically and psychologically, which may initiate favorable health actions such as physical activity, diet, and compliance to medical treatments [ 19 , 32 , 33 ]. For instance, smokers receiving and perceiving extensive partner support have a higher rate of cessation or short-term withdrawal from smoking [ 34 ]. Other studies have also shown that people who are married [ 35 , 36 ], have a larger social network [ 37 , 38 ], or involved in religious communities [ 39 ] have a higher chance of adopting optimal health behaviors.…”

Background Extensive studies have confirmed social support as a critical protective factor of people’s health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and subjective well-being (SWB). However, health promoting behaviors as a potential mechanism and age differences in this mechanism has received fewer attention. This study aims to examine the associations among social support, health promoting behaviors, HRQoL and SWB in older and younger persons in Hong Kong. Method A convenience sample of both younger (12–35 years old) and older persons (55 years old and above) were recruited from three non-government organizations to complete a survey. Structural Equation Model (SEM) was conducted to test both the measurement model and structural models to examine the relationship between social support, health promoting behaviors, HRQoL and SWB. Multi-group SEM was also performed and compared to test whether there were significant age differences in the pathways between the key variables. Results A final sample of 408 participants (older-persons: N = 200 (mean age: 71.63 (8.16); 180/200 female), younger-persons: N = 208 (mean age: 18.10 (5.04); 155/208 female) were included in the final analysis. Results showed that social support was positively associated with SWB directly and indirectly through health promoting behaviors for the whole sample (CFI = .95, IFI = .94, RMSEA = .07, SRMR = 0.056). Results suggested that the association between the variables differed across age samples. While social support showed a positive association with health promoting behaviors for both younger and older persons, how each of them associated with HRQoL and SWB was different. Conclusion Findings suggest that the pathway which social support linked with HRQoL and SWB might differ across age groups. Age-specific strategies should be considered when promoting HRQoL and SWB among the younger and older population.
