越来越多的证据表明,西方国家移民后社区对切割女性生殖器官(FGM/C)的支持显着减少。在这些社区中,解决知识差距并理解与FGM/C中止相关的因素至关重要。本范围审查的目的是描述移民和文化变化对支持移民社区FGM/C停止的因素的影响。审查,从2012年到2023年,包括以下数据库:Embase,PubMed,谷歌学者,Swisscovery,CINAHL,APAPsycInfo,灰色文学应用PRISMA-ScR框架,我们确定了2819项研究,17人符合纳入标准。结果揭示了七个关键因素塑造对FGM/C放弃的态度和行为:(1)反对FGM/C的立法,(2)知道FGM/C不是宗教要求,(3)加强实践教育,(4)移民与文化变迁,(5)了解FGM/C的有害影响,(6)对未切割的女孩有积极的看法,和(7)自我代理意识。这些发现突出了社会因素,社区,人际关系,和个人水平,增强了对实践的放弃。FGM/C领域的进一步研究将更准确地理解和解释迁移后环境中的这些多层次因素,为有针对性的干预措施提供有价值的见解,以促进实践的停止。
A growing body of evidence indicates a significant decrease in support for female genital mutilation/cutting (
FGM/C) within post-migration communities in Western countries. Addressing knowledge gaps and comprehending the factors associated with
FGM/C discontinuation in these communities is crucial. The objective of this scoping review is to describe the effects of migration and cultural change on factors supporting
FGM/C cessation in migrant communities. The review, from 2012 to 2023, included the following databases: Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, Swisscovery, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, and gray literature. Applying the PRISMA-ScR framework, we identified 2819 studies, with 17 meeting the inclusion criteria. The results revealed seven key factors shaping attitudes and behavior toward FGM/C abandonment: (1) legislation against
FGM/C, (2) knowing that
FGM/C is not a religious requirement, (3) enhancing education about the practice, (4) migration and cultural change, (5) awareness of the harmful effects of
FGM/C, (6) a positive view of uncut girls, and (7) a sense of self-agency. These findings highlight factors on a social, community, interpersonal, and personal level that enhance the abandonment of the practice. Further research in the FGM/C field will gain more accuracy in understanding and accounting for these multilevel factors in post-migration settings, offering valuable insights for targeted interventions to promote the cessation of the practice.
