Mothers’ report at the beginning of school year of their children with a cleft lip and palate
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction and objective: The objective of this study was to assess according to mothers’ opinions the report of the school year of the child bearing a cleft lip and palate (CL/P). Material and methods: A qualitative research with unstructured questions was applied, based upon the analysis of content proposed by Bardin (1979). The research was performed at Joinville (SC), Brazil, at the Nucleus for Research and Rehabilitation of Lip Palatal Lesions (NPRLLP). Seven mothers with children bearing a CL/ P who are attended in the NPRLLP participated in the study. Results: The child with CL/P has a congenital physical defect that affects the stigmatization, due to the physical perfection and beauty idolatry imposed by society. The moment of the beginning of the school year brings a great widening of the exposition to social environment, leading to consequences upon the performed treatment. Based on the analysis of the texts, the most significant reports were selected, comprising seven great axes with sixteen classes, which made an assembly of expressions with similar characteristics or that bear a close relationship among themselves. Reports of noticed prejudices, the reaction before such prejudices, the husband role, the difficulties in relationships and the role of NPRLLP during the whole process were speeches categorized and approached in mothers’ reports. Conclusion: The school beginning may be considered as a moment of great significance for the integration to social environment for the patient who bears a CL/P and for the people around him or her. The follow-up by a reference center using multidisciplinary interventions may produce a greater development, either socially and in terms of the evolution of treatment.
