Their age ranged from 17 to 44 years, with a median age of 30 years. The age range of participants' children was 1 to 23 weeks, and their median age was 5 weeks. Twenty-two (13.9%) mothers felt shame when their child was born, and 18 (11.4%) wished their child was never born. The majority (81.0%) of participants had low experience of societal stigmatization. For SOC, the minimum score recorded was 26, the maximum was 65, and the mean was 44.9\u2009\u00b1\u20098.94. Caregiver stigmatization against children with CL\/P was more commonly seen among those with low SOC, while most mothers with high SOC exhibited positive reactions toward their child (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.05).
