Abstract Details

2010, Master of Arts, Case Western Reserve University, Communication Sciences.
The purpose of this study was to expand on previous research that focused on what information parents felt was critical to know about their child with cleft lip and palate (CLP) and to create a more detailed understanding of the exchange of information regarding feeding and swallowing that exists between parents of children with CLP and members of the craniofacial team. Questionnaires were distributed to parents of children with CLP and to craniofacial team members during craniofacial clinic at a hospital in northeast Ohio. Responses to the questionnaires were then analyzed using analytical software. Results of the study found that parents wished they received more information about specific topics related to feeding and swallowing, craniofacial team members agreed with parents about what information was most important to know about feeding and swallowing, and despite the fact that craniofacial team members reported specific information about feeding and swallowing was important to know, parents reported that they did not get, or would have liked more, information on these topics.
