摘要
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the experiences, attitudes, and perceptions of Somali female students regarding female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Design and Methods One hundred seventeen Somali female students participated in this qualitative study. The data were collected in semi-structured focus group interviews. Findings It was determined that most (49.9%) of these girls were exposed to type-2 FGM/C. Eighty-eight percent of the girls participating in the study stated that they support the continuation of this practice in future generations. Practice Implications For risk groups in Turkey, organizing health education programs, training healthcare professionals in Turkey about FGM/C, and creating awareness are recommended.
