| الوصف: | Aim:This study aimed to determine whether there were differences in attitude, awareness, and intention to perform female genital mutilation or cutting for their daughters in the future between female healthcare providers and mothers. Methods:A comparative cross-sectional study design was used. Results:A total of 508 women were included in the study. Of the participants, 68.7% (n = 349) were mothers (Group I) who visited the hospital and 31.3% (n = 159) were women healthcare professionals (Group II) [27% (n = 137) nurses and 4.3% (n = 22) doctors]. It was found that 8 (1.6%) of the participants did not have FGM/C and the FGM/C ratio was lower in group II (95%) than in group I (100%) (p < 0.001). In group I, 99.7% (n = 299) of the participants and 30.6% (n = 19) of those in group II reported intending to perform FGM for their daughters in the future (p < 0.001). The reasons for FGM/C most cited by participants were a traditional rite of passage into womanhood (78%), religious requirement (69.3%), and preservation of their virginity until marriage (59.3%). Stop FGM was given as a message on FGM/C by 60% of the participants (n = 79) who answered (n = 127, 100%) to open-ended questions. Conclusion:The results of this study show that female health professionals with higher education and monthly income had less positive perception of their FGM/C and less intention to allow their daughters to undergo FGM/C. |
