To assess the psychological well-being of patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP).
PATIENTS/SETTING: Ninety-four Chinese CLP subjects between 10 and 40 years of age were recruited from the Discipline of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, The University of Hong Kong, between June and December 2003. They were divided into two groups for comparison: adolescents (10-16 years old) and adults (17- 40 years old). A control group of 116 healthy non-CLP patients was also recruited during the same period.
All CLP and non-CLP patients were asked to complete a set of four questionnaires to assess their psychological status. The questionnaires included the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Culture-Free Self-Esteem Inventory, and the Chinese Miller Behavioral Style Scale.
Chinese CLP patients exhibited levels of subjective well-being and social anxiety that were similar to the published levels of a group of British CLP patients. They also had significantly lower general and social self-esteem but higher parental self-esteem than the non-CLP control group.
CLP patients were generally satisfied with life and did not exhibit more social anxiety than the non-CLP control group. They also had a good relationship with their parents. Gender and educational level had no influence on their psychological profile. However, these CLP patients had lower self-esteem than non-CLP patients.
评估唇腭裂患者的心理健康状况。
患者/研究背景：2003年6月至12月期间，从香港大学口腔颌面外科招募了94名年龄在10至40岁之间的中国唇腭裂患者。他们被分为两组进行比较：青少年（10 - 16岁）和成年人（17 - 40岁）。同期还招募了116名健康的非唇腭裂患者作为对照组。
所有唇腭裂患者和非唇腭裂患者都被要求完成一套四份问卷，以评估他们的心理状态。这些问卷包括社交回避与苦恼量表、生活满意度量表、无文化背景自尊量表和中国米勒行为方式量表。
中国唇腭裂患者的主观幸福感和社交焦虑水平与一组英国唇腭裂患者公布的水平相似。与非唇腭裂对照组相比，他们的总体自尊和社会自尊显著较低，但父母自尊较高。
唇腭裂患者总体上对生活满意，且社交焦虑程度并不比非唇腭裂对照组更高。他们与父母的关系也很好。性别和教育水平对他们的心理状况没有影响。然而，这些唇腭裂患者的自尊低于非唇腭裂患者。
