Psychological adjustment to craniofacial conditions (excluding oral clefts): A review of the literature.
Psychology & Health 2017 March
OBJECTIVE: A congenital craniofacial anomaly (CFA) is expected to impact upon several domains of psychological, emotional and social functioning, yet no recent reviews have comprehensively summarised the available literature. Further, existing reviews tend to draw upon literature in the field of cleft lip and palate, and do not give substantive attention to other types of CFAs.
DESIGN: A review of 41 papers published between January 2000 and March 2016 pertaining to psychological adjustment to CFAs.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Findings are presented according to key psychological domains: General Psychological Well-being, Quality of Life, Behaviour, Emotional Well-being, Social Experiences, Appearance, and Treatment-Related Experiences.
RESULTS: Current literature offers a contradictory picture of adjustment to CFAs. Psychological adjustment appeared to be comparable to norms and reference groups in approximately half of the papers related to non-syndromic CFAs, while more variation was found across domains among samples with syndromic CFAs. Associations were found between adjustment, physical health and cognitive function in several papers. The review identified a number of gaps in the literature, such as the inclusion of a wide range of diagnoses within research samples.
CONCLUSIONS: This review demonstrates the complexity of findings, both within and across domains, and highlights a number of methodological challenges.
