Abstract

Female Genital Mutilation is a cultural practice generally carried out in different countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and Asia, although it is also very present in Spain. This study aims to analyze of the scientific production implement in Spain in the Web of Science and Scopus databases focused on this problem. After carrying out various inclusion and exclusion criteria, 39 articles have finally been chosen for a subsequent quantitative analysis through the databases used, to finally make a qualitative analysis on various variables that affect Female Genital Mutilation. To carry out the research, 12 variables have been considered: the databases from which the scientific production has been extracted, the number of citations, the year of publication, the research areas in which each research article is found, the language in which they are written, the authors and the index of co-authorship. In relation to the variables used for the qualitative analysis, the presence of consequences of women who have suffered FGM, the ages at which they were mutilated, the most used types of FGM, the training of professionals in Spain and aspects of FGM related to different cultures. The results obtained reveal a lack of education on the part of health professionals in Spain. It is essential, after obtaining the different results, to reinforce the training and the different action plans carried out in Spain against FGM to control the consequences in our country.
