Exposure of second-hand smoke causes children’s physical and psychological harm. Household smoking is the major source of children’s exposure. There have been various intervention programs towards parents in preventing children’s exposure. This study is to systematically review literatures in preventing children’s exposure to second-hand smoke, and appraise content of intervention and the effects. Literatures were searched from electronic database of Medline, CINHAL, and PubMed through 2000-2012. Searching strategies include parents as participants, preventing/reducing children’s second-hand smoke as content of intervention, and randomized controlled trial as study design. A total of 17 articles were included and reviewed. The majority of intervention designs in these articles are individual-approached, education- or behavioral modification-oriented with theoretical basis. There were single and multiple sessions of intervention between one to 14 sessions, with the majority of face-to-face plus telephone counseling. Studies that intervention based on theory and multiple-sessions design are more effective in reducing children’s exposure to second-hand smoke or improving parental smokers’ quitting rates. Results of this review suggests future intervention program in targeting parental smokers or parents who live with children exposed to secondhand smoke, designing program based on appropriate theories with multiple sessions. |
