Challenges and coping mechanisms among caregivers of children with orofacial cleft in a Nigerian teaching hospital: photovoice approach
Burden of care was a major challenge for caregivers of children with OFC. Feeding and financial challenges were major burdens, leading the caregivers to hold on to faith and spirituality for succor. Health providers must educate caregivers on sustainable feeding techniques and management of their ward's feeding to meet the required feeding expectations regarding the children's weight.
