Abstract

Nocturnal enuresis is a common painful disorder that carries a significant burden. This disorder has psychological, social and financial implications for families and children. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of educational intervention on mothers of children with nocturnal enuresis. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used before and three months and six months after the intervention. A systematic random sample of 91 mothers and their children were recruited from the Urinary Incontinence outpatient clinic at Zagazig University Hospital, Egypt. Three tools were used for data collection which include; Tool I: A. Demographic characteristics of mothers and their children. B. Frequency of bedwetting of the children with nocturnal enuresis, C. Mothers' knowledge regarding nocturnal enuresis. Tool II: Mothers’ reported practices regarding nocturnal enuresis checklist. Tool III: Mothers attitudes toward nocturnal enuresis. Results: 87.9% of studied children had bedwetting every night per week before intervention, this percentage decreased to 60.4% and 19.8% post three months and six months respectively. There were statistically significant differences in mothers’ knowledge, practices and attitudes post intervention regarding nocturnal enuresis compared to before intervention. Conclusion: The implementation of the nocturnal enuresis health education showed a significant improvement in mothers ’knowledge, practices and attitudes. In addition, the clinical features among children with nocturnal enuresis decreased significantly after 3 and 6 months. Recommendations: Developing a health education program for mothers of children with urinary incontinence to update their knowledge and practices on advanced treatment strategies.
