The Cigarette Withdrawal Scale(CWS) is composed of 21 items, including four measuring depression-anxiety, four measuring craving, four measuring irritability-impatience, three measuring concentration difficulties, three measuring appetite-weight gain, and three measuring insomnia. The items were scored using a 5-point Likert-type scale (agree/disagree). |
| Baseline |
| Self-efficacy level | Self-efficacy of participants against tobacco will be assessed by using by the Smoking Self-Efficacy Questionnaire(SEQ-12). The SEQ-12 is categorized into two subscales, namely internal stimuli (6 items) and external stimuli (6 items), with total possible scores ranging from 6 to 30 for both internal stimuli and external stimuli. Higher scores of the SEQ-12 on both subscales indicate greater selfefficacy to refrain from smoking. | Baseline |
| Dependence of nicotine | The level of nicotine dependence of the participants will be measured by the Fagerstrom Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scale. The FTND is a standard instrument for assessing the intensity of physical addiction to nicotine.The test was designed to provide an ordinal measure of nicotine dependence related to cigarette smoking. It contains six items that evaluate the quantity of cigarette consumption, the compulsion to use, and dependence. In scoring the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence, yes/no items are scored from 0 to 1 and multiple-choice items are scored from 0 to 3. The items are summed to yield a total score of 0-10. The higher the total Fagerstrom score, the more intense is the patient's physical dependence on nicotine. | Baseline |
| Self-awareness of the hazard of smoking | The self-awareness of the hazard of smoking among the participants will be measured by a self-designed smoking hazard questionnaire list. The 20-items questionnaire is developed according to the literature review content, focusing on the impact of smoking hazard on maternal and neonate health.Participants were asked to answer whether the knowledge about tobacco harm contained in the entry is correct: yes, no, or don't know (about 20% interference items).The higher the total score,the better the mastery of self-awareness of the hazard of smoking. | Baseline |
| Smoking rationalization | The smoking rationalization will be measured by a 26-item scale within six dimensions (smoking functional beliefs, risk generalization beliefs, social acceptability beliefs, safe smoking beliefs, self-exempting beliefs, and quitting is harmful beliefs). Each item used a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neither disagree nor agree, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree, higher scores represent higher levels of rationalization). | Baseline |
