INTRODUCTION
Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) is globally recognized as a violation of the human rights of females. It has no health benefits and harms those who undergo the procedure. Midwives are therefore expected to be aware of how to manage these consequences and play a key role in the prevention of the practice. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of Iranian midwives' knowledge of and attitudes toward FGM/C.
METHODS
A total of 168 midwives were enrolled in our descriptive study. The data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by specialists. The data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0 software using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient.
RESULTS
Only 20.23% of participants had good knowledge about FGM/C, and knowledge of 3.58% of participants was weak. There was no correlation between knowledge and demographic characteristics of participants.
CONCLUSIONS
The average level of participants' knowledge and mixed attitudes toward FGM/C indicate a need to develop effective strategies to increase knowledge of midwives and improving their attitude toward FGM/C.
引言
女性生殖器切割在全球范围内被公认为是对女性人权的侵犯。它没有任何健康益处，反而会伤害接受该手术的人。因此，预计助产士应了解如何处理这些后果，并在预防这种行为中发挥关键作用。本研究的目的是评估伊朗助产士对女性生殖器切割的知识水平和态度。
方法
共有168名助产士参与了我们的描述性研究。数据通过研究者自制的问卷收集，该问卷的有效性得到了专家的确认。数据使用SPSS 21.0软件进行分析，采用描述性统计和皮尔逊相关系数。
结果
只有20.23%的参与者对女性生殖器切割有充分的了解，3.58%的参与者知识薄弱。参与者的知识与人口统计学特征之间没有相关性。
结论
参与者对女性生殖器切割的知识水平和态度不一，这表明需要制定有效的策略来提高助产士的知识水平，并改善他们对女性生殖器切割的态度。
