4. The aim of the study was to explore the concerns of
caregivers of children with cleft lip and palate.
Various qualitative methods like surveys, questionnaires and
interviews have been used to document the parental concerns.
However, this study intended to explore group dynamics as a
method to understand how these family and community
perceptions are shared and/ or varied.
Hence Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were conducted, where
small groups of individuals from a well defined target population
were brought together.
This method allowed conducive environment for the participants
to share their experiences of having a child with cleft lip and
palate, with emphasis on the immediate concerns of the birth of
these children.

6. All the investigators of this study attained a three day
training program under the guidance of Director,
Centre for Development and Research Training an
expert in Focus Group Discussions.
The training program included on-field training on
FGD.
Hence a pilot study was conducted by the investigators
to have hands on experience before initiating the
study. Further the method and results of this study
were also modified based on the suggestions of his
expert opinion.

7. Preparing the format for participant-observation of activities cum
interviewing of the workers for the assessment
Execution of a Pilot study
Elaboration of database

8. Identifying the venue
Arrangements of logistics for the conduction of the study
Approaching the Anganwadi workers/Supervisors and explaining the study to
them
Data collection by participant-observation and putting questions to
workers/supervisors based formats developed for the purpose
Fine tuning the methodology based on the pilot study and administering the same
on a larger scale.
Descriptive statistics will be used as supporting data from the existing secondary
sources, which will be gathered using desk research methodology

9. A focus group discussion provides an insight into the perception and practices
of a homogenous group of people about a topic or subject or a program that is
being implemented or had been implemented.
It is participatory in nature and focuses on certain specific identified topics.
The technique facilitates full participation, free expression and capturing
verbatim of all the idiomatic expressions. Hence for broader understanding of
the concerns and experiences of caregivers of children with cleft lip and palate,
Focus Group Discussions were used. The verbatim captured, further aided in
understanding how their views were constructed and expressed.
The focus group discussions were carried out in 5 different sessions. The
questions for Focus Group Discussion were framed based on the literature
findings, experience of the researchers and the pilot study. Table2. shows the
number of participants for each Focus Group Discussion sessions.

10. A written transcription was developed from the audio
recordings of each Focus Group Discussion. Transcription
was done by sequentially numbering each page and
transcripts were read several times to become familiar with
the data. For the purpose of internal validity, facilitators of
the discussion sessions reviewed the transcriptions for
completeness and accuracy.
Since each focus group question correlated to a research
question, a preliminary outline was generated to organize
emerging themes.
1/26/2023 10
achatterjee@aud.sgrdimsr.in
11. While reading the data from each focus group question,
a preliminary list of predominant themes was
developed.
For the purpose of safeguarding confidentiality, the
names of the participants were changed in the analysis
of the verbatim.
While re-reading the transcripts, quotations were
marked into the outline of predominant themes,
followed by the page number and location of the quote.
Once a substantial outline of prominent themes was
developed, the data was re-read and examined for
prominent sub-themes.
1/26/2023 11
achatterjee@aud.sgrdimsr.in
12. Themes and subthemes were modified to encompass
well-substantiated topics pertaining to ideas relevant
to the goals of the research.
Descriptive summary method1 was used to report the
findings of the study. In the report a descriptive
summary of each theme was followed by illustrative
quotations and adjective phrases for emphasis and
clarity.

achatterjee@aud.sgrdimsr.in
13. The results are compiled from the themes and
subthemes which emerged from all the focus groups
conducted in four blocks of the district. A descriptive
summary along with verbatim reproductions are
discussed on the various themes addressed in the
FGDs.
The verbatim are enclosed in boxes to highlight the
specific topic of discussion. The major theme which
emerged from the narration of the caregivers group
was the initial reaction of having a child with cleft lip
and palate. Most of the caregivers broke into tears
recalling their experiences of after so many years.
