There were 20 families enrolled, which included 18 parent dyads (mother and father) and two single mothers, making a total of 38 participants. Initial inductive analysis was further refined using the Social Ecological Model as an analytic lens.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>At the <jats:italic>intrapersonal level<\/jats:italic>, unrealistic expectations of surgery, residual CHD symptoms and difficulty maintaining educational progress were of great concern. There were low levels of health literacy and understanding about CHD among family and friends, however, strong kinship ties were an important resource at the <jats:italic>interpersonal level<\/jats:italic>. These families lived in poverty and mothers often carried the sole burden of care for their sick children. At the <jats:italic>institutional level<\/jats:italic>, there were unclear expectations of the child\u2019s needs at school, and parents had poor access to psychological, family-planning and genetic counselling, and poor access to CHD education resources. At a <jats:italic>sociocultural level<\/jats:italic>, religion and trust in God were important coping factors, however, CHD was a gendered experience with particular concerns around scarring and the marriageability of girls. Parents noted the deficit of antenatal and specialist CHD services and felt the consequence of a lack of a universal health care system at the <jats:italic>public policy level<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Socio-ecological factors have the potential to explain the issues and challenges that children living in LMIC experience with CHD after surgery.
