TRANSCRIPT
The barriers, motivators and enablers of smoke-free
homes: qualitative systematic review and
synthesis
Laura Jones, Jo Longman, John Wiggers, Jude Robinson & Megan Passey
Global SHS exposure
40% of children, 33% non-smoking males and 35% of non-smoking females
600 000 annual deaths: 28% children, 26% men and 47% women
Countries with SFL – exposure in homes and cars Countries without SFL – exposure in homes and
workplaces
Oberg et al. 2011
SHS intervention evidence
Child focussed Mixed evidence for effectiveness of
SHS/SFH interventions Need for more research
SHS qualitative evidence
Promote caregiver quitting Promote smoke-free homes
– Some caregivers are successful, others find it very difficult
Qualitative evidence base exploring caregivers’ home smoking behaviours and experiences – yet to be synthesised
Jones et al. 2011; Robinson et al. 2010, 2009. 2007a, 2007b; Phillips et al. 2007, Blackburn et al. 2003
Review questions
(1) What are the barriers to, enablers and motivators of initiating and maintaining a smoke-free home?
(2) Do the barriers, enablers and motivators to creating smoke-free homes differ by context?

Barriers
Exposure to SHS was recognised as being harmful; however, the specific risks and the continuing risks as the child aged (Abdullah 2012, Jochelson 2003, Jones 2011, Kegler 2007, Mao 2013, Robinson 2007 & 2009) were often not appreciated or acknowledged.
Knowledge & perception of SHS risk & risk reduction
“I try to avoid smoking at home, but sometimes I really cannot help myself and start smoking in front of my child. I really need some help” (Abdullah 2012)
Addiction/habit
Indoor smoking by others was often not challenged because of the need or desire to preserve social and relational bonds with the smoker (Bottorff 2001, Mao 2013, Jones 2011, Robinson 2008, Yousey 2007).
Influence of others
Enablers
“If I don’t want people to smoke around my kids I tell them. It’s my house and my kids” (Coxhead 2006)
Agency
“It’s not something that’s even discussed anymore, it’s just…automatically assumed that you don’t smoke in the house” (Poland 2009)
Social norms around SHS
Smoking household members’ and visitors’ acceptance of and compliance with household smoking rules was facilitated by the normality and assumed nature of protecting others from SHS, particularly children (Bottorff 2001, Escoffery 2009, Holdsworth 2008, Kegler, Robinson 2009 & 2011, Poland 2009)
Influence of others
Motivators
Homes which showed signs of smoke exposure (e.g. nicotine stains) and which smelled of smoke were perceived as ‘socially unacceptable’ (Robinson 2011) and associated with ‘stigma’ (Holdsworth 2008)
Desire to live in a clean, odour free & safe environment
Caregivers were ‘aware’ (Holdsworth 2008) and ‘mindful’ (Robinson 2011) of the dangers of exposing others, in particular children, to SHS.
SHS awareness & health protection
“It makes me smoke less having to go outside… [I] tend not to go out as much and smoke” (Escoffery 2009)
Benefits of having a SFH
Evidence base limitations
Cross-sectional Retrospective Hypothetical rather than experiential Authors are not explicit about participants’
home smoking rules Focussed on reducing children’s SHS
rather than SFH
Current evidence gaps
Home smoking rules during pregnancy & early post natal period
The male voice Other adults (vulnerable/sick) Learning from ‘successful’ smoke-free
households Other countries, in particular, those with
high tobacco consumption
Implications for policy & practice
Power of social norms Clarity & consistency of SHS risk messages Complete ban (where achievable) SF households rather than individuals Strengths based approach – harnessing
motivation
