Sponsor's own description

More than 40% of all pregnant women in Pakistan are exposed to second-hand smoke - causing approximately 17,000 still births in a year. In Pakistan only 1% of still births are attributed to women actively smoking during pregnancy, but for second-hand smoke the figure is 7%, largely due to the high numbers of pregnant women exposed to tobacco smoke in the home. Negative effects of Second-hand smoking (SHS) on maternal and fetal health are well established. In low and middle-income countries (LMICs) smoking inside the house is largely unrestricted adversely affecting pregnant women by exposure to SHS. SHS exposure in non-smoking pregnant women has increased the risk of stillbirth and congenital malformation along with behavioural and cognitive issues in children. Partner's support during pregnancy is important for developing a better maternal health. Therefore, a phenomenological research approach is appropriate for describing the essence of experience in terms of affective and emotional aspects. Phenomenology is an approach of creating phenomenological knowledge in a situation by describing implicit meaning of experience. The investigators therefore propose an epistemological approach of phenomenology.
