Back 2

Pregnant smokers who have difficulty quitting, are often condemned by the surroundings. But the stigma has a very prejudicial effect, the expert believes.

I Danmarks Lungeforening er man glade for, at blandt andet rygeloven og en øget bevidsthed om rygningens usunde egenskaber har fået flere gravide til at kvitte smøgerne.

Back 6

In the Danish Lung Association is also happy about that, among other smoking law and an increased awareness of smoking unhealthy properties have been several pregnant women to quitting.

"Den strukturelle forebyggelse har været meget effektiv, og der er sket en denormalisering af rygningen i alle befolkningsgrupper," siger foreningens projektleder Mette Gry Münchow og forklarer, at en øget stigmatisering af rygere - og særligt gravide rygere - dog har fået både en positiv, men også en meget negativ effekt.

Back 7

"The structural prevention has been very effective, and there has been a denormalization of smoking in all communities," says the association's project manager Mette Gry Münchow and explains that an increased stigmatization of smokers - particularly pregnant smokers - but has been both a positive, but also a very negative effect.

Front 8

På den positive side har det fået flere til at stoppe, fordi de ikke vil fordømmes af det omgivende samfund og venner og familie, og fordi de ved, hvilke konsekvenser rygningen har for fosteret.

Back 8

On the positive side, it has got more to stop, because they will not be condemned by society and friends and family, and because they know the consequences of smoking have the fetus.

Front 9

Men for dem, som ikke kan stoppe selv uden hjælp, er stigmatiseringen mindre heldig, fortæller Mette Gry Münchow.

Back 9

But for those who can not stop herself without help is the stigma less fortunate, says Mette Gry Münchow.

Front 10

"Fordømmelsen kan få den negative indvirkning, at den risikerer at fastholde nogle i deres rygning. Hvis det er svært for en kvinde at stoppe med at ryge under sin graviditet, og hun føler sig fordømt af det omgivende samfund, kan det få hende til at trække sig og isolere sig, og så får hun ikke den støtte, som hun har brug for," siger Mette Gry Münchow og understreger, at en gravid, der ryger, er jagtet døgnet rundt.

Back 10

"The condemnation may have the negative impact that the risk to maintain some of their smoking. If it is difficult for a woman to stop smoking during her pregnancy, and she feels condemned by society, it may make her withdraw and isolate themselves, and so she does not get the support that she needs, "says Mette Gry Münchow and stresses that a pregnant woman who smokes, is chased around the clock.

Front 11

"Det er jo virkelig noget, der får følelserne i kog hos omgivelserne. Men det er meget vigtigt i mødet med de gravide, der ryger, at man ikke bare giver dem en løftet pegefinger. De skal derimod have ekstra støtte og hjælp," siger hun og understreger, at bliver kvinder kun mødt af fordømmelse, vil et rygestop aldrig lykkes.

Back 11

"It's really something that gets intense emotions in the surroundings. But it is very important in meeting with pregnant women who smoke, you can not just give them a raised index finger. They must have an extra support and help," says she stresses that women are only met by condemnation, a smoking cessation never succeed.

Front 12

Hun foreslår i stedet, at det sundhedspersonale, som møder kvinderne under graviditeten, får flere ressourcer til at hjælpe dem til et rygestop.

Back 12

She suggests instead that the medical professionals who encounter women during pregnancy have more resources to help them quit smoking.

Front 13

Derudover kan en såkaldt buddy - eller makker, som det hedder på dansk - være ekstremt virkningsfuldt, fortæller hun og henviser til et projekt, som Danmarks Lungeforening har udviklet for Københavns Kommune. Her får folk med KOL (Kronisk Obstruktiv Lungesygdom, red.), der vil stoppe med at ryge, tilkoblet en buddy, der kan hjælpe KOL-patienterne og støtte dem, når de forsøger at kvitte smøgerne helt.

Back 13

In addition, a so-called buddy - or partner, as it is called in Danish - be extremely powerful, she says, and refers to a project which the Danish Lung Association has developed for the City of Copenhagen. Here, people with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, eds.), Who will stop smoking, coupled to a buddy who can help COPD patients and support them when they try to quitting altogether.

Front 14

Samtidig er det vigtigt at være bevidst om, at de kvinder, der ryger under graviditeten, ofte tilhører en særlig ressourcesvag gruppe, hvor der også er en høj grad af overvægt og en lav grad af uddannelse.

Back 14

At the same time it is important to be aware that women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely belong to a particular resource weak group, which also has a high degree of obesity and low levels of education.

"Den viden skal man have med, når man udvikler tilbud til de rygende gravide, og man er nødt til at sætte sig ind i deres livsverden, værdier og behov," siger Mette Gry Münchow.

Back 15

"The knowledge you need to have with when developing services for the pregnant smokers, and one needs to put themselves into their life-world, values and needs," says Mette Gry Münchow.

Lillian Bondo, der er formand i Jordemoderforeningen, er også glad for, at færre kvinder ryger under graviditeten, men hun understreger, at tallene - der er indsamlet ved første svangerskabskonsultation hos jordemoderen - formentlig ikke stemmer helt overens med virkeligheden.

Back 16

Lillian Bondo, president of the Midwives Association is also pleased that fewer women smoke during pregnancy, but she stresses that the figures - gathered at the first pregnancy appointment with the midwife - probably not entirely in keeping with reality.

Front 17

For mange kvinder vil lyve om deres rygevaner - eller ikke have held med at overholde deres rygestop igennem hele graviditeten.

Back 17

For many women will lie about their smoking habits - or do not succeed in meeting their stop smoking throughout pregnancy.

Front 18

Trods dette er hun dog ikke i tvivl om, at udviklingen går i den rigtige retning:

Back 18

Despite this, she is no doubt that things are moving in the right direction:

Front 19

"Det er et tegn på, at gravide kvinder er ekstremt parate til at lave forandringer i deres liv, så deres børn får de bedste forudsætninger. Vi har fået fortalt igen og igen, at rygning og graviditet er en dårlig kombination, og den fortælling har vist sig at have vundet gehør hos størstedelen af de vordende mødre.

Back 19

"It is a sign that pregnant women are extremely willing to make changes in their lives so that their children get the best conditions. We have been told again and again that smoking and pregnancy do not mix, and the story has shown to have gained a hearing in the majority of expectant mothers.

Front 20

Det betyder, at børn af mødre, der har røget under graviditeten, kan have sværere ved selv at få børn, når de vokser op.

Back 20

This means that children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy may have a harder time even to have children when they grow up.

Front 21

I forhold til de gravide, som fastholder deres rygevaner under graviditeten, mener Lillian Bondo, at man bør tilbyde dem et regulært rygestoptilbud - noget som hun beklagevis oplever er blevet sparet væk flere steder.

Back 21

Compared to women who maintain their smoking habits during pregnancy, says Lillian Bondo that you should offer them a regular cessation services - something she beklagevis experience have been canceled in several places.

Front 22

"Skal vi have den sidste gruppe af gravide til at stoppe med at ryge, kræver det en mere massiv indsats og flere ressourcer. Det er denne gruppe, som har brug for allermest støtte under deres graviditet, blandt andet fordi de ofte også har et skrøbeligt netværk. Men får de den rette hjælp, vil man kunne komme langt," siger hun.

Back 22

"Should we have the last group of pregnant women to stop smoking, it requires a more massive efforts and resources. It is this group who need most support during their pregnancy, partly because they often have a fragile network. But they get the right help, you will be able to get far, "she says.

I forbindelse med en stor dansk undersøgelse af dødfødsler kæder en række forskere fra Rigshospitalet faldet i antallet af rygende gravide sammen med en udvikling hen imod langt færre dødfødte.
