Educational objectives	OBJECTIVES OF KNOWLEDGE (Knowledge) To acquire the basic knowledge about the epidemiology, prevention, pathogenesis, the clinical presentation, clinical and instrumental diagnosis, pharmacologic therapy and surgical strategy of the main diseases of urinary tract and male genitalia. OBJECTIVES OF INTERACTIVE EDUCATION The interactive teaching will be carried out in order to transmit the students a methodological approach to the nursing management of the main conditions concerning urologic and andrological disease. Objective will be to develop the ability to recognize the signs and symptoms of various diseases and their clinical value in order to be able to improve nursing management of the patient. ABILITIES (skills) The following abilities are considered preliminary and acquired: • to collect accurately medical history and symptoms of the patients • to know the most common laboratory tests, to identify major alterations of biochemical profile and to understand their clinical significance • the main maneuvers of general physical examination (inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation of the chest and abdomen). Aims of gestural skills include: -Positioning of different types of catheters -management of urostomies -nursing in diagnostic urologic exam (uroflowmetry, transrectal ultrasound, ultrasound of the urinary tract, scrotal ultrasound, urodynamic examination, urethrocystoscopy, cystography) -nursing in ESWL -nursing in patient undergoing urologic surgery For this purpose hands-on training will be organized for the management of urinary catheter and urostomy. OBJECTIVES OF RELATIONAL EDUCATION (interpersonal skills) The objectives are to transmit students the value of the relationship between nurse and patient, highlighting the ethical and psychological aspects; another aim will be to make the student able to evaluate the psychological, sociological and cultural aspects of the patient in order to adapt the language and improve the understanding of the interview. We will also provide the main tools to properly train the care-giver figure. At the end of the course students will have the theoretical and practical bases for proper nursing management of the urologic and andrological patient.
Prerequisites	Knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the urinary and male genital system are indispensable in order to understand the topics of the lessons. Fundamentals of pharmacology and oncology seem very useful to achieve the objectives of the interdisciplinary course.

Other information	Attendance Mandatory. At least 60% of lessons
Learning verification modality	The assessment includes final written and oral exam. The final valutation of the student’s "knowledge" consists of a written exam with closed stimulation and closed answer, in preparation for the oral examination. The written exam consists of 15 multiple choice and has a maximum duration of 20 minutes. Each correct answer has a score of 2. Access to the oral test is allowed for scores equal to or upper than 18. The final oral exam is characterized by an open stimulation with open answer; it consists of two questions and has a duration lower than 15 minutes. The final vote is in 30/30.
Extended program	therapy and rehabilitation. -Urinary incontinence: epidemiology, classification, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, pharmacologic therapy and surgery. -Genitourinary prolapse: epidemiology, classification, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, rehabilitation therapy and surgery. - Minimally invasive surgery: indications, advantages and disadvantages, applications in urology We will also present the main issues about surgical andrology concerning infertility and sexual dysfunction. The concepts of anatomy and physiology of the male genitalia will be necessary to evaluate the morphological aberrations (congenital and acquired penile curvature), functional (erectile dysfunction and priapism). Acute scrotum (testicular torsion and orchi-epididymitis), cryptorchidism, varicocele will be debated both as individual disease and as a clinical entity related to male infertility, paying particular attention to their prevention. Since 30% of population is involved by an urological or andrological disease, we will highlighted the role of these diseases in determining a worsening of the quality of life of the individual and the couple; we will emphasize the importance of suitable management of urological and andrological disease also for the significant impact on the social and financial costs.
