摘要
Chronic pain, men's urology, and men's genital health issues are traditionally unrepresented in nurse practitioner (NP) curricula. This descriptive study compared 2 groups of NPs and their knowledge and treatment choices for an understudied male chronic pain condition: chronic unexplained orchialgia. The characteristics of the study population (n = 396) mirrored the NP population as a whole, and treatment and referral patterns mirrored suspected causes for both groups. The study findings reflect the growing specialization of NPs, suggesting that a urology focus and longer time in practice contributes to a more contemporary approach to identification and management of this condition.
