Year: 2023
Type: dissertation
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: the aim of this study was to assess whether midwives' level of knowledge about female genital mutilation (FGM) enabled them, in their opinion, to provide appropriate care and support to patients.METHOD: quantitative, cross-sectional, observational, descriptive study using a selfquestionnaire distributed online via social networks. The study was based on responses from 104 midwives. The main criterion was the percentage of correct answers to questions on theoretical knowledge.RESULTS: the level of knowledge was insufficient, particularly on the legislative, but also on and the consequences of FGM, where the answers were relatively imprecise. A large majority of midwives wanted additional training on the subject. There is a statistically significant link between believing they have sufficient resources to support women who have undergone mutilation and scoring higher on the questionnaire.
