Substance Abuse During Pregnancy (SAMHSA, 2005) (Continued)
• Pregnant women are less likely to use substances than their peers.
• The exception is pregnant women aged 15 to 17; this substance use rate is 26 percent for pregnant women, compared with 19.6 percent for nonpregnant women.

Smoking and Pregnancy
Smoking during pregnancy is responsible for:– 20% of all LBW– 8% of preterm births – 5% of all perinatal deaths
Pregnant smokers compared to nonsmokers are:– 2.0-5.0 times as likely to experience PPROM– 1.2-2.0 times as likely to deliver preterm– 1.5-10 times as likely to deliver a SGA infant– 1.5-3.5 times as likely to deliver a LBW infant

© 2007, March of Dimes
Substance Abuse During Pregnancy (SAMHSA, 2005) (Continued)
• Rates of substance abuse in pregnancy have stayed constant.
• Pregnant women’s tobacco use decreased from 2002 to 2004, while alcohol and illicit drug use increased (SAMHSA, 2005).
![Page 13: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Substance Abuse During Pregnancy (SAMHSA, 2005)
Women more prone to substance abuse:– Earn below poverty level – Were exposed to violence as a child– Have a history of domestic abuse – Suffer depression or other mental health
problems– Have less than a high school education– Are unmarried– Are unemployed– Are involved with the criminal justice
system
![Page 14: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Substance Abuse During Pregnancy (SAMHSA, 2005)
• Substance use is highest in the first trimester.
• The most common form of substance use in pregnancy is smoking among White women.
• Because tobacco, alcohol and drug use in pregnancy occurs across all demographic groups, nurses should screen all women.
![Page 15: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Problem of Addiction
• Addiction does not occur unless psychological and social conditions promote continued drug use.
• Nurses are better able to provide support and nonjudgmental care if they respect substance users as reasonable and intelligent persons whose judgment has been impaired.
![Page 16: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Genetic Contributions to Addiction• The propensity to specific
addictions has been linked to particular genes.
• Genetic differences may affect the seriousness of biological consequences of substance exposure in pregnancy.
![Page 17: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
© 2007, March of Dimes
Addiction as a Biopsychosocial Problem
• Addiction is produced when biological, psychological and social predispositions combine with exposure to substances and an environment that supports regular substance use.
• Nursing assessment should focus on a broad scope of personal, familial and social stressors and coping skills.
![Page 18: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Women’s Treatment Issues
• Women may be more predisposed to addiction than men.
• Women are adversely affected by smaller amounts of alcohol and drugs than men.
• Women are more likely than men to lack resources to pay for drug treatment.
![Page 19: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Women’s Treatment Issues (Roberts & Dunn, 2003) (Continued)
Women’s treatment programs must take a whole-life approach and address:
– Low self-esteem– The need for social services and
parenting support– Protection from violence– Training in relationship issues and
coping skills– Vocational and legal assistance

The 5 A’s
1. Ask about tobacco use2. Advise to quit3. Assess willingness to make a quit attempt
4. Assist in quit attempt5. Arrange follow-up

Ethical Challenges
• A conflict exists between the woman’s right to autonomy over her body and behavior and the nurse’s sense of obligation to prevent harm to the fetus.
• If nurses are part of an enforcement system instead of advocates for women’s needs, women may avoid prenatal care and social services.
![Page 22: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
© 2007, March of Dimes
The Nurse’s Role
• In prenatal and acute care settings, nurses should:– Thoroughly assess psychosocial risks– Conduct mutual goal-setting to
minimize harm associated with psychosocial risks
– Offer support and respect
• The sense of being valued can help drug users begin to make changes.

Introducing Social Issues
The nurse should begin to explore the woman’s home situation, including:
– Stress related to work, finances, family and pregnancy
– Satisfaction with the amount and kind of support in her social network
– Feelings about self-esteem and ability to cope with stressors

Three-question Substance-use Screen
• Have you ever drunk alcohol?• How much alcohol did you drink in
the month before pregnancy?• How many cigarettes did you
smoke in the month before pregnancy?
![Page 28: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Substance Abuse Assessment• In no case should urine or blood
testing be used without consent.• If a woman admits to substance
abuse, testing is not needed to confirm the presence of a problem.

Tobacco Use Assessment
• Women generally report their smoking status fairly accurately.
• The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence is used to assess the level of addiction to tobacco (Heatherton et al., 1991).
![Page 30: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
© 2007, March of Dimes
The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence• How soon after you wake up do you smoke
your first cigarette?• Do you find it difficult to refrain from
smoking in places where it is forbidden?• Which cigarette would you hate most to give
up?• How many cigarettes per day do you smoke?• Do you smoke more frequently in the first
hours after waking than during the rest of the day?
• Do you smoke if you are so ill that you are in bed most of the day?
![Page 31: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Principles of Brief Intervention:Problem Recognition and Goal-Setting1. Provide feedback on problems, symptoms
and historical events that suggest a substance abuse problem. Offer simple, realistic information about the effects on mother and baby.
2. Advise the woman to stop (or cut down) using substances.
3. Emphasize that any action taken is the woman’s choice.
4. Give options for treatment.5. Get agreement from the woman on at least
one action to take.
![Page 32: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Follow-up During Pregnancy and Postpartum
At each visit, the nurse should:1. Ask the woman about psychosocial
issues.– Progress in reducing substance use– Use of treatment options– Health changes
2. Impart good news.

Harm Reduction
• Harm reduction is an important principle for care of substance users (MacMaster, 2004).
• When abstinence is not achieved, reducing the harm of substance use is an important goal.
![Page 34: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
© 2007, March of Dimes
Recognizing the Full Scope of the Problem
• Few substance users are able to quit on their first attempt.
• Nurses should view any progress as worthwhile and recognize that recovery is a lifelong process.
• Women need to develop entirely new social support systems.
![Page 35: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Smoking Treatment: Follow-up During Pregnancy
• One of the least expensive and most effective forms of follow-up is telephone contact.
• Follow-up should focus on how the effort is going; support and reinforcement for even small successes; suggestions to overcome obstacles; and health progress reports.
![Page 36: Tobacco, Alcohol and Drug Use in Childbearing Families Presented by: Dona Dei, RN/MSN ddei@marchofdimes.com.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e185503460f94b048dc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Smoking Treatment: Reducing Postpartum Relapse• Thirty percent to 70 percent of
smokers who quit during pregnancy relapse by 1 year postpartum (Secker-Walker et al., 1998).
• Postpartum follow-up is essential.• Nurses can offer the same tips they
gave to pregnant smokers, with emphasis on planning ahead to avoid excessive fatigue and isolation.

Summary
Nurses can:– Provide life-changing interventions for
vulnerable families– Advocate for increased funding for
women’s substance-abuse treatment– Work to reduce harmful stigma– Advocate for healthy environments that
reduce exposure to substances
