Anatomical Features in Inguinal-Pubic-Adductor Area That May Contribute to Gender Difference in Susceptibility to Groin Pain Syndrome.

Groin pain syndrome (GPS) is often a diagnostic challenge for sport physicians. Despite this diagnostic difficulty, the incidence of GPS in athletes is relatively high, afflicting 10-20% of the total sports population. In the literature, a certain number of studies demonstrate an important gender-based difference in the incidence of GPS in both sexes, with a ratio of female:male athletes clearly in favor of the female gender being relatively less prone to GPS.

Assessing satisfaction in simulation among nursing students: psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience - Italian Version scale.

Background: The Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale is a 5-point Likert scale that measures students' satisfaction in medium and high-fidelity simulation scenarios. This study aims at investigating the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience - Italian Version scale.

Methods: A multi-centre cross-sectional study was conducted.

Groin Pain Syndrome Italian Consensus Conference update 2023.
