SuicideFuel People dismissing lookism makes me sad.

Because I see so many people, including young kids, being mistreated for how they look, telling them to just work on their personality is simply heartless.

The Impact of Social Stigma for Children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate in Low-resource Areas: A Systematic Review - PMC

There are still children with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) in low-resource areas who face social rejection. This stigma disadvantages children in education, employment, marriage, and community, and is exacerbated by barriers to care. Our study ...

Detailed Analysis of the Study: "The Impact of Social Stigma for Children with Cleft Lip and/or Palate in Low-resource Areas: A Systematic Review"​

Overview and Purpose
This systematic review, published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open (2019), investigates the impact of social stigma on children with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP) in low-resource settings. The review synthesizes findings from 15 studies (out of 477 screened) conducted primarily in Nigeria and India, focusing on the psychosocial and socioeconomic consequences of CLP stigma for pediatric patients.

Methodology​

• Databases Searched: Ovid Embase, Ovid Medline, PubMed, and African Journal Online, covering literature from 2000 to October 5, 2018.
• Inclusion Criteria: Studies in English, focused on social stigma and CLP in pediatric populations (≤18 years), conducted in low- and middle-income countries or rural areas of higher-income countries.
• Review Process: Two investigators independently screened articles, using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist for quality appraisal and a grounded theory approach to identify recurring themes.
• Final Sample: 15 articles, mostly qualitative or cohort studies, with participant ages ranging from infancy to over 70 years (though the focus was on children).

Key Findings and Themes​

Societal Beliefs​

• Attribution of Cause: In many communities, CLP is attributed to supernatural or moral causes, such as "God’s will," evil spirits, ancestral curses, black magic, eclipses, or parental misdeeds (e.g., the mother being struck or the father harming a fish)1.
• Dehumanization: In extreme cases, children with CLP may not be considered fully human, denied a full name, or even subject to infanticide1.
• Community Awareness: General knowledge about CLP is low; many do not understand that it is a congenital condition affecting the lip and face1.

Social Impact​

• Isolation and Ostracism: Children with CLP often experience social rejection, exclusion from family, community, or even royal lineages. They may be cut off from food, denied a full name, or referred to in stigmatizing terms (e.g., “ghost child’s father”)1.
• Parental Attitudes: While parents often have more favorable attitudes than the general community, children still frequently experience a lack of parental love and care, leading to psychological distress1.
• Infanticide: In some cases, children with CLP are killed due to beliefs about their humanity or as a result of severe stigma1.

Marriage​

• In India, marriage prospects are severely hindered by CLP1.
• Role of Surgery: All studies agreed that surgical repair of CLP improves marital prospects, making it a critical intervention for social integration1.

Education​

• Barriers to Schooling: Children with CLP are often refused entry to school for fear of frightening other children or choose not to attend due to bullying and taunting1.
• Post-Surgical Improvement: After surgical repair, many children return to school; in one Ethiopian study, school attendance nearly doubled post-surgery (from 46% to 79%)1.

Employment​

• Limited Opportunities: Most CLP patients are employed in agriculture or manual labor, both before and after surgery. Employers were found to have particularly negative attitudes toward people with CLP1.
• Hope Through Surgery: Surgical repair is associated with increased hope for better career prospects, though actual occupational mobility remains limited1.

Psychological Distress​

• Mental Health Impact: High levels of anxiety, depression, and social dysfunction are reported among children with CLP, largely due to verbal insults, social isolation, and perceived negative parental attitudes1.
• Age Differences: Children and adolescents with CLP are more likely to feel depressed and less accepted compared to adults with the condition1.

Geographic and Demographic Details​

• Countries Represented: Nigeria (4 studies), India (4), Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Hong Kong, Egypt, Kenya, South Africa, Brazil, Ethiopia.
• Gender Distribution: Among studies reporting sex, there was a male dominance (75% male in 6 of 8 studies)1.
• International Collaboration: Nearly half of the studies involved collaboration with high-income countries, though principal investigators were most often from Nigeria or the USA1.

Quality Assessment​

• JBI Checklist: The three cohort studies met less than 70% of JBI criteria, indicating moderate methodological quality. None of the studies explicitly stated all quality criteria, suggesting a need for more rigorous future research1.

Implications​

• Resource Allocation: The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, including national education campaigns and improved access to surgical care, to mitigate the profound social and psychological consequences of CLP stigma in low-resource settings1.
• Cultural Sensitivity: Efforts to address CLP stigma must consider deeply ingrained cultural beliefs and practices, requiring community engagement and culturally tailored strategies1.

Conclusion​

Children with cleft lip and/or palate in low-resource areas face severe social stigma, leading to exclusion from education, employment, and marriage, as well as significant psychological distress. These challenges are compounded by cultural beliefs attributing CLP to supernatural or moral causes and by limited access to timely surgical care. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive, culturally sensitive public health strategies and increased support for surgical interventions1.
