Abstract
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) have a profound psycho-social impact on patients and parents. It is important to assess parental experiences and satisfaction as they play an important role in the care of the affected child, especially during the surgical intervention phase. This study assessed the parental experiences towards caring for CLP children, and their level of satisfaction with the treatment received and investigated the relationship between socioeconomic factors and parental satisfaction towards cleft management.
