Deductive framework analysis was employed by coding data to the domains of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and then identifying themes within domains and across participants.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Seven midwives took part in the study. 13, out of a possible 14 domains, were mapped from the TDF. Key enablers to conversations and referrals include knowledge of the risks of smoking in pregnancy, congruence with the professional identity of a midwife, and the use of carbon monoxide monitors in initiating conversations and referrals. Limited knowledge of the specialist service, confusion about the opt-out pathway, varied skills in communicating and engaging with women, low confidence in ability to influence women\u2019s decisions, limited appointment times, and competing priorities were identified as barriers.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Midwives recognise the importance of their role within the provision of smoking cessation advice and referral to specialist services. While there are continued time pressures and competing priorities for midwives, enhancing skills and confidence in collaborative, empowering approaches to addressing smoking would further support in optimising the uptake of maternity smoking cessation support. This could also enhance conversations about other public health issues such diet, physical activity, and alcohol use.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17579139241231213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T04:40:46Z","timestamp":1708490446000},"page":"78-85","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Factors influencing midwives\u2019 conversations about smoking and referral to specialist support: a qualitative study informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"145","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9917-8030","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicky","family":"Knowles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Wales Behavioural Science Unit, No. 2 Capital Quarter, Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF10 4BZ, UK"},{"name":"School of Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6495-5576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Megan","family":"Elliott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alice","family":"Cline","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Public Health Wales Behavioural Science Unit, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helen","family":"Poole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Psychology, Liverpool John Moores University, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","volume-title":"Maternal, Fetal & Neonatal Physiology","author":"Blackburn S","year":"2014","unstructured":"Blackburn S.
