“…The research shows that lower education leads to lower occupation, which contributes to lower income and poverty; it is also an indicator of low socioeconomic status (SES), which can lead to the development of non-communicable diseases such as kidney stones. [18,19]. Both in low-and middle-income countries, as well as developed nations, patients with lower socioeconomic status (SES) suffer from a lot of diseases such as kidney disease (kidney stones, urinary stones), cardiovascular diseases (hypertension), obesity, and diabetes [20,21].…”

“…A variety of reasons can cause kidney and urinary stones. It has been reported that modifiable factors, particularly environmental and dietary ones, are associated with the likelihood of developing kidney stones, including being overweight or obese, the quantity and composition of fluids consumed, the DASH diet a dietary regimen abundant in low-fat dairy products, fruits, and vegetables and the amount of dietary calcium consumed [16] influenced by metabolic, genetic, nutritional, anatomical structure [17,18] as well as family history [19], manual labor employment [20], and socioeconomic profiles [21].…”

Kidney Stone Disease (KSD) is a globally prevalent condition that can be effectively addressed through proper education. This study investigated the awareness of kidney stones among refugees residing in northern Jordan. A questionnaire was administered to 487 refugees of diverse ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Notably, 97.3% of the respondents had not attended university, and 30.8% held unskilled jobs. Upon familiarizing themselves with the signs and symptoms of kidney stones, 16.22% of men and 12.32% of women reported experiencing such symptoms. This revealed a significant association, suggesting that men might be more susceptible to developing kidney stones than women due to a lack of medical follow-up and examination for men in the camp. However, 38.77% of individuals were uncertain whether they had kidney stones. Furthermore, 38.96% of refugees were unsure about which healthcare professional to consult when experiencing kidney stone symptoms. This report highlights a serious issue with refugees’ knowledge of the symptoms, causes, and treatments for kidney stones. The results indicate that Syrian refugees face challenges in acquiring adequate disease awareness, potentially related to issues of migration and war, including low levels of education, limited income, living in camps, and difficulties accessing treatments when needed. Implementing additional policies is necessary to address these challenges among Syrian refugees; however, further studies are needed to validate these findings.
