The Importance of Understanding Parental Perception When Treating Primary Nocturnal Enuresis: A Topic Review and an Institutional Experience.

Primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) is a common childhood disorder that adversely affects a child's mental well-being and social life. Our clinical experience showed parents and their child often have significantly different perspective of enuresis, and these differences can affect family dynamics, treatment approaches, and treatment success. Parents' perception of PNE also influences the likelihood of seeking medical treatment, and we found parents of children with enuresis have markedly different beliefs regarding bedwetting than those of physicians.

Experience Of Medical Treatment With Desmopressin And Imipramine In Children With Severe Primary Nocturnal Enuresis In Taiwan.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of desmopressin and imipramine in the treatment of severe primary nocturnal enuresis (NE) in Taiwan.

Patients And Methods: This study was a retrospective chart review study conducted on children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PMNE) or non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (PNMNE), referred to and treated by senior physicians in a Changhua medical center in Taiwan.

Parental perception and factors associated with treatment strategies for primary nocturnal enuresis.

Study Design: We recruited 93 children with PNE from enuresis clinics and requested their parents to complete questionnaires regarding their child's medical history and behavior, their methods for coping with PNE, and their perception of enuresis. Logistic regression models were applied to investigate factors influencing the parents to adopt a positive approach toward enuresis and to subsequently seek a medical consultation.
