“…It is, however, important when contextualizing findings and attributing meaning to be careful not to fall into ethnocentrism or the most radical cultural relativism (Jiménez‐Ruiz et al . ). Health Professionals who perform FGM are violating women's and girls' right to live, to have physical integrity and to be healthy, and the medical ethics of no malice.…”

“…More specifically in the field of FGM prevention, the use of cultural frameworks that are suitable for the individual and the use of new comprehensive FGM assessment abilities will better enable nurses to deliver culturally competent nursing care (Jiménez‐Ruiz et al . ). Cultural aspects are even more relevant when training is directed at Health Professionals in the countries of residence, as they do not normally belong to the same social and cultural environment as the patients of the practising communities.…”

Although some nurses and midwives are in the forefront of eradicating FGM this is counterbalanced by health professionals (including nurses and midwives) who condone, sanction or support the practice with some calling for medicalization of FGM as a legitimate procedure. Girls at risk need better protection and women affected need more competent and cultural care from health professionals. Health and legal systems, professional regulation and governance, and professional training require strengthening to eradicate FGM, prevent the medicalization of FGM as an acceptable procedure, and to better manage the lifelong consequences for affected girls and women.

“…Gaining cultural sensitivity will help nursing professionals improve their capacity to manage the cultural care needs of populations that practice FGM. Transcultural care ensures that nurses bypass the Western ethnocentric view of foreign cultures that influence nursing interventions and the nursing process (Jiménez Ruiz et al, 2012). To this purpose, ethnonursing research was the method described by Leininger to provide scientific evidence to inform nursing curricula about cultural sensitivity (McFarland et al, 2012).…”

“…In Africa alone, three million girls under 15 years of age are at risk of FGM annually (WHO, 2012). Largely as a result of migration from countries where FGM is practiced, health practitioners from America, Oceania, and Europe are increasingly attending to more and more cases of girls and women that have undergone FGM in their consultations and who demand culturally tailored health care services (Jiménez Ruiz, Almansa Martínez, Pastor Bravo, & Roche, 2012; Renteria, 2008; Richards, 2000; Venters & Gany, 2011; WHO, 2012).…”

Web-based literature search engines may not be user-friendly for some readers searching for information on female genital mutilation. This is a traditional practice that has no health benefits, and about 140 million girls and women worldwide have undergone it. In 2012, the website FGMReview was created with the aim to offer a user-friendly, accessible, scalable, and innovative knowledge management tool specialized in female genital mutilation. The design of this website was guided by a conceptual model based on the use of benchmarking techniques and requirements engineering, an area of knowledge from the computer informatics field, influenced by the Transcultural Nursing model. The purpose of this article is to describe this conceptual model. Nurses and other health care providers can use this conceptual model to guide their methodological approach to design and launch other eHealth projects.

Rectovaginal Fistula Management in Low-Resource Settings

Rectovaginal fistula (RVF) is an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina that affects women globally. In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), RVF is most commonly due to obstetric complications such as prolonged labor or perineal tears, female genital mutilation and trauma such as sexual violence or iatrogenic surgical injuries. Women affected by this condition suffer from debilitating physical symptoms, social isolation, economic disempowerment, psychological trauma, low self-esteem, and loss of role fulfillment. Lack of accessible, high-quality, and effective healthcare is a major barrier to timely and safe obstetric care and to care for subsequent complications such as RVF. Additionally, social, cultural, financial, and systemic barriers put women at risk of acquiring fistula and contribute to delays in seeking and receiving care. Literature evaluating RVF repair in those able to access care offers limited information about management and outcomes. It is difficult to ascertain which surgical techniques are used. To reduce the burden of this often-preventable disease, appropriate investment in healthcare infrastructure to strengthen maternal care in LMICs is paramount. Furthermore, more standardized reporting of severity and treatment approach along with outcome data are critical to improving the quality of care for patients impacted by RVF.
