    Fora internetowe jako źródło wsparcia społecznego dla kobiet ciężarnych uzależnionych od nikotyny
    (Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2012) Knol-Michałowska, Kamila; Goszczyńska, Eliza; Petrykowska, Alicja
    Internet forums provide a space where people can search and receive social support. The sense of anonymity, one of forums’ attributes, tends to bring up delicate and socially unacceptable subjects. One of them is the problem of smoking during pregnancy. The authors of this article attempt a qualitative analysis of posts by smoking pregnant women in the context of three types of social support: emotional, informational and instrumental. The authors include recommendations for the health education of expectant mothers with respect to smoking cigarettes.
