A multi-method research adopting both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were applied. Quantitative phase was a retrospective cross-sectional study design. A list of all patients admitted to HUSM for five years (January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2016) was retrieved using ICD-10 to identify cases of kidney stones in HUSM. The statistical analysis included the calculation of descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normality, and Mann–Whitney U test to compare medians. All analysis were carried out with SPSS (Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 22.0) program. The prevalence of patients with kidney stones disease was 1.8% among patients admitted to HUSM. Male patients were more than females with a ratio of 1.35:1, the majority of patients were of Malay ethnicity (91.1%, n= 133). Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy was the most prevalent mode of treatment among patients (45%, n= 67 of 146). On the other hand, a phenomenological approach was applied in the qualitative phase. Purposive sampling was adopted to recruit and approach patients above 18 years old and diagnosed with kidney stones disease.en_US
