The persistence of female genital mutilation (FGM) in some countries, despite an overall decline in the prevalence of the practice, calls for improvement in the capacity of healthcare workers and institutions to provide optimal care for this population.
To determine the impact of providing information on FGM and its consequences to healthcare providers on their attitudes toward FGM, and quality of care and patient satisfaction.
The following major databases were searched from inception to August 2015: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, without language restrictions.
Controlled studies were included based on use of objective measures.
Two team members independently screened and collected data. Relative risks and proportions were calculated and evidence assessed using the GRADE (Grade of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach.
One study was identified. Based on this study there was no evidence to suggest change in healthcare provider outcomes after the intervention.
Despite a comprehensive search, only one study of low methodological quality was included. This precludes a definitive conclusion regarding the impact of providing information on FGM to healthcare providers. More research is needed.

尽管女性生殖器切割（FGM）的总体发生率有所下降，但在一些国家该行为仍持续存在，这就需要提高医护人员和机构为这一人群提供最佳护理的能力。
确定向医护人员提供有关女性生殖器切割及其后果的信息对他们对女性生殖器切割的态度、护理质量和患者满意度的影响。
检索了以下主要数据库，从建库至2015年8月：Cochrane对照试验中心注册库（CENTRAL）、医学索引数据库（MEDLINE）、Scopus数据库、科学引文索引数据库（Web of Science）和美国国立医学图书馆临床试验注册库（ClinicalTrials.gov），无语言限制。
纳入基于客观测量方法的对照研究。
两名团队成员独立筛选和收集数据。计算相对风险和比例，并使用GRADE（推荐分级、评估、制定与评价）方法评估证据。
确定了一项研究。基于该研究，没有证据表明干预后医护人员的结果有变化。
尽管进行了全面检索，但仅纳入了一项方法学质量较低的研究。这使得无法就向医护人员提供女性生殖器切割信息的影响得出明确结论。需要更多研究。
国际前瞻性系统评价注册库（PROSPERO）注册号：CRD42015024570。
