The effects of the disability have decreased over the years as methods of habilitation have improved--the now successful surgical techniques followed by more normal development. The battle is not over, though, because society still attaches a stigma to this anomaly and the speech and hearing handicaps that can result. It remains a challenge to the resources of the cleft palate team nurse to deal with the adverse forces of nature in the habilitation process, as well as the discriminatory attitudes of society toward the patient. The reward is the satisfaction derived from contributing to this life-changing treatment.
随着康复方法的改进，多年来残疾所带来的影响已经有所减轻——如今成功的外科手术技术之后是更为正常的发育。然而，这场斗争尚未结束，因为社会仍然对这种异常以及可能由此导致的言语和听力障碍存在偏见。腭裂治疗团队护士要应对康复过程中自然因素的不利影响以及社会对患者的歧视态度，这对其资源来说仍是一项挑战。回报则是因参与这种改变人生的治疗而获得的满足感。
