Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of developing and implementing nursing educational program on outcomes of patients with double J ureteric stent. Patients and methods: Research design: Quasi experimental research design. Sample and setting: A sample of "60" adult patients undergoing double J ureteric stent insertion, their ages from "18 - 65" years. Patients assigned into 2 groups, each group "30" patients. Odd number = control group while even number = study group. Nursing educational program (brochure) introduced to patients of study group by researchers while patients of control group was received routine hospital instructions. Tools: Assessment sheet and King’s health questionnaire. Results: Urinary tract infection demonstrated statistically significant difference between the two groups. It occurred in 93.3% of control group patients versus 46.7% of study group (p < 0.001). Patients’ responses to King’s health questionnaire conveyed significant difference in quality of life between the two groups (p < 0.001).
