“…Culture-based health beliefs exist in every society concerning the causes of birth defects and genetic disorders. Since culture shapes thinking, one can understand how it can be deeply ingrained into beliefs [ 14 ]. Around 36% of the parents have ascribed the cleft to ‘‘God’s will,” which was consistent with the findings of a study done by Oginni et al in Nigeria [ 15 ].…”

Background The etiology of cleft lip and palate (CL/P) remains largely unidentified. Evidence-based research shows a strong association with genetics, environmental factors, nutritional deficiency, smoking, alcohol, and drug misuse. Despite the increase in knowledge and widespread access to medical care beliefs contrary to science, folklores on CLP still occur in most developing countries. Methodology The study design was cross-sectional in nature and involved a sample of 136 parents of children with cleft lip and palate reporting to Smile Train Cleft Centers. It was conducted by using a self-structured questionnaire from December to March 2019. Results The highest recorded response was holding sharp objects, such as knives, scissors, or needles, during pregnancy (40.4%) and the least recorded response was for pregnant women going out on an auspicious day (3.7%). Conclusion The current study demonstrated that a majority of the parent’s socioeconomic status was upper lower class. Some parents still believe in the myths around the etiology of CLP despite the advances in medicine and technology.

“…The major limitation of this study was the lack of patient and parent participation in the assessment of maternal nutrition levels due to geographical and social factors. CLP is considered both a burden and an embarrassment to the affected families in most developing countries, including Indonesia [25,26]. Delivering treatment and conducting research related to CLP remains most challenging in rural areas where healthcare remains inaccessible and members of the local population are largely unaware of their oral health.…”

“…A better understanding of these regional variations in different countries and communities by the cleft team would improve the health-care delivery. [10] That is why, we need LW, which is defined as a dynamic knowledge resource held, evolved and transmitted by a defined population, and integrated with their understanding of surrounding nature and culture. Hence, the guideline we used is not only based on the information after surgery, which needs to be delivered to caregiver, but also through discussion with local residents and doctors in that area regarding language barriers, presentation methods, and information needs based on LW.…”
