Abstract

Introduction: Behavioural counselling is an effective method to improve smoking cessation during pregnancy. Audio recordings of consultations have been used previously to assess fidelity in specialized smoking cessation services, but not in primary care.<br />Aims: The study is aimed at assessing the feasibility of audio-recording smoking cessation counselling as part of an intervention in primary care settings and exploring the number and type of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) delivered.<br />Methods: This study was a nested feasibility study within a larger trial. Health providers (HPs) and pregnant women were asked to agree or decline audio recording their smoking-related consultations. Data collected included percentage providing consent, number of recordings performed, HP type, and date (pre/post intervention). Interviews were conducted to assess the trial procedures' acceptability.<br />Results: Two services provided seven recordings, all pre-intervention. Of the 22 recruited women, 14 consented to being audio recorded (64%) and five provided recordings; of the 23 recruited HPs, 16 agreed (69%), and two provided recordings. Qualitative data suggest that HPs found audio recording difficult to remember. HPs spent on average two minutes discussing smoking and used few BCTs.<br />Conclusions: Audio recordings of smoking-related counselling were not feasible as planned. Future research will need to explore acceptable methods to assess BCT use in primary care.<br />Competing Interests: YBZ has received fees for lectures from Pfizer Ltd. Israel (2012-2015, 2017-2019) and GSK Consumer Health Israel (2019) (both distributing smoking cessation pharmacotherapies in Israel). She has not received any fees from pharmaceutical companies in Australia. No other coauthors have conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Yael Bar-Zeev et al.)
