Abstract

Children with genetic diseases are a vulnerable population in the development of mental health problems. The cleft lip and palate (FLAP) is one of the most common congenital anomalies. Objective: To study the impact at family level of the FLAP diagnosis. Methodology: Exploratory and quantitative design and cross-sectional scope. A self-administered questionnaire consisting of an informed consent, a sociodemographic data questionnaire, the Child Behavior CheckList and open questions, was constructed. The sampling was intentional and composed by 42 cases. Results: The diagnosis of a cleft palatal lip is a difficult experience in parents, who experience this moment in a negative way, with sadness and fear. Nevertheless, children with FLAP present similar levels of mental health with general population.
