Female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) remains a global problem. We aimed to explore Kenyan health care professionals’ (HCPs) perceptions of FGM/C abandonment and, in particular, those focused on those serving Maasai communities who continue to practice FGM/C. Using a grounded theory Straussian approach, 18 interviews were conducted with HCPs in Kajiado County, Kenya, to understand perceptions of FGM/C as a cultural practice, identify barriers and facilitators to abandonment, and explore attitudes to medicalization (FGM/C conducted by HCPs) and alternatives of FGM/C. Within a substantive theory, one core category (“FGM/C persists but can be abandoned”) comprised two subcategories: “exploring the influencers of persistence” and the “roadmap to abandonment.” HCPs believed collaborative multilateral efforts were necessary to support successful abandonment and that “enlightening” the community needed to focus on changing the perception of FGM/C as a social norm alongside a health risk educational approach. Future effective intervention is needed to support the abandonment of FGM/C in Kenya.

探索肯尼亚卫生保健专业人员对女性生殖器切割/切割放弃 (FGM/C) 的看法

残割/切割女性生殖器 (FGM/C) 仍然是一个全球性问题。我们旨在探索肯尼亚医疗保健专业人员 (HCP) 对放弃 FGM/C 的看法,特别是那些专注于为继续实行 FGM/C 的马赛社区服务的人的看法。使用扎根理论施特劳斯方法,对肯尼亚卡加多县的 HCP 进行了 18 次访谈,以了解对 FGM/C 作为一种文化实践的看法,确定放弃的障碍和促进因素,并探讨对医疗化的态度(HCP 进行的 FGM/C ) 和 FGM/C 的替代品。在实质性理论中,一个核心类别(“FGM/C 持续存在但可以放弃”)包括两个子类别:“探索持续性的影响因素”和“放弃路线图”。” HCP 认为多边合作努力对于支持成功放弃是必要的,并且“启发”社区需要专注于改变将 FGM/C 视为一种社会规范以及健康风险教育方法的看法。未来需要有效的干预来支持肯尼亚放弃 FGM/C。
