Abstract

Low birth weight is the condition of babies body length at born weighing less than 2500 g. Since 2013 the number of low birth weight incidences in Central Sulawesi is still above the national average of 10.6%. Pregnant mothers who are exposed to cigarettes are at greater risk of miscarriage or giving birth to babies with low birth weight. Objective: This study aimed to see the relationship between exposure to cigarettes in pregnant mothers and the incidences of low birth weight. Methods: This study is observational research with a cross-sectional approach design. This study was carried out in Labuan Toposo from April to October 2021. The sample in this study was 25 respondents. Sampling was done using the Simple Random Sampling technique. The data analysis technique used was the Chi-Square Test with an α value of 0.5. Results: Exposure to cigarettes in pregnant mothers and the incidences of low birth weight obtained a p-value of 0.001. Conclusions: Pregnant mothers who have smoking family members are more at risk of giving birth to babies with low birth weight. Thus, there is a significant relationship between exposure to cigarettes and the incidence of low birth weight. Suggestions: Pregnant mothers should plan their pregnancy as well as possible. Husbands and family members are advised not to smoke inside the house or near them (pregnant mothers) because cigarette smoke inhaled by the mothers can inhibit fetal growth and development.
