The psychosocial impact of congenital hand and upper limb differences on children: a qualitative study.

This qualitative study explored the psychosocial concerns of children born with congenital hand and upper limb differences (CHULDs) from the point of view of these children and their parents. Qualitative, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted face-to-face with eight parent-child dyads. Open format questions allowed spontaneous emergence of relevant themes, followed by guided questioning.
