Tóm tắt :

Background: The practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is widespread in Sudan. Over the years, the government, civil society and the international community implemented multiple interventions to address the issue. However, due to a number of cultural and educational factors, this harmful practice continues.Aims: This study aimed to assess the effects of a secondary school-based health education intervention on the knowledge and attitude of female students towards FGM in Sudan.Methods: We conducted a quasi-experimental study in Karary Locality, Khartoum State, Sudan. A multistage sampling technique was used to determine targeted schools. Within the schools, students of two randomly selected classes received the intervention. The study included three phases; in the pre-intervention phase, data were collected from the totality of students (154 students) using a pre-tested questionnaire, after which students received health education sessions. The same questionnaire was used to re-collect the data in a post-intervention phase 6 weeks later.Results: The participants were between 14 to 17 years old, 30.3% of which were subjected to FGM. The main source of in-formation about FGM was family and friends (41.1%). The majority of participants had a negative attitude towards FGM. The means of knowledge and attitude scores increased from 8.63 (SD=2.562) and 5.76 pre-intervention (SD=1.937) to 11.99 (SD=2.264) and 6.53 post-intervention (SD=1.164), respectively.Conclusions: School-based health education has a positive impact on both knowledge and attitude of female students towards FGM in Sudan. As such, introducing health education about the complications of FGM in curricula of secondary schools in Sudan has the potential to improve students’ knowledge and attitude. Ultimately, such interventions can help reduce the prevalence of the practice when students become responsible for future families. Contexte : La pratique des mutilations sexuelles féminines est très répandue au Soudan. Au fil des ans, le gouvernement, la société civile et la communauté internationale ont mis en œuvre de multiples interventions pour s’attaquer à ce problème. Toutefois, en raison d’un certain nombre de facteurs culturels et éducatifs, cette pratique néfaste perdure.Objectifs : La présente étude visait à évaluer les effets d’une intervention d’éducation sanitaire dans des écoles secondaires sur les connaissances et l’attitude des élèves filles face aux mutilations sexuelles féminines au Soudan.Méthodes : Nous avons mené une étude quasi-expérimentale dans la localité de Karary, dans l’État de Khartoum au Soudan. Une technique d’échantillonnage à plusieurs degrés a été utilisée pour déterminer les écoles ciblées. Dans les écoles, les élèves de deux classes choisies de manière aléatoire ont bénéficié de l’intervention. L’étude comportait trois phases ; dans la phase pré-intervention, les données ont été recueillies auprès de l’ensemble des élèves (154 élèves) à l’aide d’un questionnaire prétesté, à la suite de quoi les élèves ont bénéficié de séances d’éducation sanitaire. Le même questionnaire a été utilisé pour collecter à nouveau des données dans une phase post-intervention six semaines plus tard.Résultats : Les participantes étaient âgées de 14 à 17 ans, dont 30,3 % avaient subi une mutilation sexuelle. La principale source d’information sur ces mutilations était la famille et les amis (41,1 %). La majorité des participantes avaient une attitude négative à l’égard des mutilations sexuelles féminines. Les moyennes des notes relatives aux connaissances et aux attitudes sont passées de 8,63 (écart-type = 2,562) et 5,76 avant l’intervention (écart-type = 1,937) à 11,99 (écart-type = 2,264) et 6,53 après l’intervention (écart-type = 1,164), respectivement.Conclusions : L’éducation sanitaire en milieu scolaire a un impact positif sur les connaissances et l’attitude des élèves filles face aux mutilations sexuelles au Soudan. Ainsi, l’introduction de l’éducation s
