“…Several studies have shown that parents of premature newborns experience post-traumatic stress symptoms more frequently than parents of full-term newborns [4]. Symptoms of avoidance, intrusion, reminiscence, neurovegetative reactions, feelings of failure, and guilt have been highlighted by various studies, which have found that fathers show post-traumatic stress symptoms later (even four months after the birth of their baby) than mothers [2]- [7].…”

“…Studies on occidental samples, despite the support given to families of a child with a cleft, showed an influence of the cleft on maternal mental health and, more precisely, on symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress (Field and Vega-Lahr, 1984; Tyl et al, 1990; Dolger-Hafner et al, 1997; Habersaat et al, 2009; Skrivan-Flocard and Habersaat, 2009; Despars et al, 2011). Therefore, we can suppose that in countries without financial and medical support, such as Benin, these psychological symptoms may be enhanced.…”

This study stressed the importance of cultural differences in perceptions of orofacial clefts in order to provide appropriate care to patients and their families. In particular, wide campaigns of information should help parents to understand the cleft origin and the medical staff in small dispensaries to provide adequate support and care. This may diminish anxiety concerning the child's short- and long-term prognosis. Creation of a Beninese parental support group for children with clefts and their families could be another way to provide information and support where multidisciplinary care is not available.

“…The announcement of an orofacial cleft is often experienced as a traumatic experience for parents (Habersaat et al, 2009; Skrivan-Flocard and Habersaat, 2009; Despars et al, 2011). Most parents express a great shock (Schlenker et al, 1998), followed by symptoms of depression and posttraumatic stress related to the infant's face (Field and Vega-Lahr, 1984; Tyl et al, 1990; Dolger-Hafner et al, 1997; Habersaat et al, 2009; Skrivan-Flocard and Habersaat, 2009; Despars et al, 2011). After the shock of knowing their infant will be born with a facial disfigurement, parents must adapt to many functional problems affecting feeding, care (Endriga and Speltz, 1997), and facial recognition.…”

Objective : The main objective of this study was to assess mother-child patterns of interaction in relation to later quality of attachment in a group of children with an orofacial cleft compared with children without cleft. Design : Families were contacted when the child was 2 months old for a direct assessment of mother-child interaction and then at 12 months for a direct assessment of the child's attachment. Data concerning socioeconomical information and posttraumatic stress symptoms in mothers were collected at the first appointment. Participants : Forty families of children with a cleft and 45 families of children without cleft were included in the study. Families were recruited at birth in the University Hospital of Lausanne. Results : Results showed that children with a cleft were more difficult and less cooperative during interaction at 2 months of age with their mother compared with children without a cleft. No significant differences were found in mothers or in dyadic interactive styles. Concerning the child's attachment at 12 months old, no differences were found in attachment security. However, secure children with a cleft were significantly more avoidant with their mother during the reunion episodes than secure children without cleft. Conclusion : Despite the facial disfigurement and the stress engendered by treatment during the first months of the infant's life, children with cleft and their mothers are doing as well as families without cleft with regard to the mothers' mental health, mother-child relationships, and later quality of attachment. A potential contribution for this absence of difference may be the pluridisciplinary support that families of children with cleft benefit from in Lausanne.
