First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a structured education session led by a nurse could lower anxiety and improve quality of life in 188 adults having their first shock wave lithotripsy for kidney stones. The education covered what to expect during the procedure, pain management, and recovery tips. Researchers measured anxiety and quality of life using standard questionnaires, and also tracked pain levels.

Active substance
nurse-led structured patient education
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple education before a procedure helps patients feel less anxious and have a better quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a completed, relatively small trial (188 participants) testing an educational intervention, not a drug or device. The results may not apply to all patients or settings, and the effect on anxiety may be modest.
