Summary
A biopsychosocial intervention significantly improved beauty satisfaction in adolescents with oral facial clefts (OFC). This intervention helps young people adjust and feel better about their appearance after surgery.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Plastic Surgery
- Adolescent Health
Background:
- Oral facial clefts (OFC) present unique challenges for adolescents, impacting self-perception.
- Assessing satisfaction with appearance post-surgery is crucial for identifying adjustment difficulties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of a biopsychosocial intervention on beauty satisfaction in adolescents who have undergone OFC surgery.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive survey of 86 adolescents with OFC was conducted.
- A quasi-experimental design involved a 7-day biopsychosocial intervention for 10 participants.
- Beauty satisfaction was measured using a four-point rating scale.
Main Results:
- Initially, most adolescents reported average (55.8%) or low (16.3%) beauty satisfaction.
- Gender and age did not significantly correlate with pre-intervention beauty satisfaction.
- A significant increase in beauty satisfaction was observed post-intervention (p=0.001).
Conclusions:
- Biopsychosocial interventions can effectively enhance beauty satisfaction in adolescents with OFC.
- Psychosocial support and focusing on actual facial features aid in appearance acceptance.
- Further research should explore longitudinal and cross-sectional studies on cleft psychosocial adjustment.
