Introduction: A newborn who weighs less than 2,500 grams at delivery is considered low birth weight (LBW). There are many factors that can influence the determinants of LBW. One of the multifactorial is pre-natal exposure to tobacco smoke from the partner or environment in pregnant women (passive smokers) which provides negative effects for both the mother and the fetus. This study aims to determine the relationship between passive smoking during pregnancy and LBW at RSUD H. PadjonganDg. Ngalle Takalar in 2019.
Methods: The research is an observational analysis with a case-control approach. The population in this study is all mothers who gave birth to babies in the delivery room at RSUD H. PadjonganDg. Ngalle Takalar had 139 mothers who gave birth from January to December 2019. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling
Results: The results showed the pregnant woman's environment who was most often exposed to cigarette smoke with LBW (<0.05), Cigarette smoke exposure in the home with LBW (<0.05), Cigarette smoke exposure in the outdoor environment with LBW (<0.05), Pregnant women who were exposed to cigarette smoke in one week with LBW(<0.05), Frequency of time pregnant women were exposed to cigarette smoke in one day with LBW(<0.05).
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between passive smoking during pregnancy and low birth weight (LBW).
