Primary Outcomes (1)

• Primary Outcome Measure

  Ureteral Stent Symptom Questionnaire: In 2003, Joshi and colleagues developed a special questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life and stent-related symptoms. The Ureteral Stent Symptoms Questionnaire (USSQ), a validated tool that assesses symptoms and quality of life, was validated in Turkish by Yılören and colleagues in 2017. The USSQ was originally designed as a 38-item questionnaire with 33 Likert-type questions and 5 more descriptive items organized into six main areas. This questionnaire provides a comprehensive assessment of urinary symptoms, general health, pain, sexual health, work performance, and other additional problems related to ureteral stents

  The universe of the study, between April and November 2022.

When the patient comes to the hospital for DJ stent removal 4 weeks after discharge, the Ureteral Stent Symptom 1st Questionnaire and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be filled out while the DJ stent is in place. The Ureteral Stent Symptom 2nd Questionnaire and the SF-36 Quality of Life Scale will be applied 4 weeks after the stent is removed.
