Indicadores psicossociais e repercussões na qualidade de vida de adolescentes com fissura labiopalatal

Abstract

The term quality of life has been employed by all professionals concerned with human welfare, which is often associated to psychosocial indicators. This study aimed at identifying, describing and evaluating the quality of life verbalized and noticed by teenagers with cleft lip and palate in relation to a control group presenting similar sociodemographic features, as well as the possible similarities and differences regarding quality of life. The sample comprised 67 teenagers with cleft lip and palate (G1) regularly enrolled for treatment at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of São Paulo (HRAC/USP), the data of which were collected during the period November 16th to December 22nd, 1999. The control group consisted of 67 adolescent students without clefts (G2) who were surveyed in the period August 22nd up to September 15th, 2000. The groups included teenagers of both genders, aged 10 to 20 incomplete years old and living in the city of Bauru. A questionnaire comprising structured and some open questions was applied in an attempt to analyze the subjects’ quotidian according to their perceptions. Despite of the stigma yielded by the congenital deformity, the teenagers with cleft lip and palate overcome the limits imposed by their deficiency, which is fundamental for their integration into society, and demonstrate satisfaction with the life they live, through self-realization, health and welfare.

O termo qualidade de vida tem sido utilizado por todos os profissionais que lidam com o bem-estar das pessoas, estando freqüentemente associado a indicadores psicossociais. Este trabalho teve por objetivo identificar, descrever e avaliar a qualidade de vida verbalizada e percebida por adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal e as de um grupo com características sociodemográficas próximas, utilizado como controle, e suas possíveis semelhanças e diferenças quanto à qualidade de vida. A amostra foi constituída por 67 adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal (G1), matriculados no Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofaciais da Universidade de São Paulo, HRAC-USP, sendo os dados coletados no período de 16 de novembro a 22 de dezembro de 1999; e de 67 adolescentes estudantes sem fissuras (G2), no período entre 22 de agosto a 15 de setembro de 2000. Os grupos tinham representação de ambos os sexos, na faixa etária de 10 a 20 anos incompletos e residentes na cidade de Bauru. Com a intenção de verificar o cotidiano, foi aplicado um questionário de questões estruturadas e algumas questões abertas, enfocando as suas percepções. Apesar do estigma que a deformidade congênita representa, os adolescentes portadores de fissura labiopalatal superam os limites da deficiência, evento fundamental para que se integrem à sociedade, apresentando satisfação com a vida que levam, através da autorealização, saúde e bem-estar.
