Treating enuresis in children with neurodevelopmental disorders using bell and pad alarm.

Objective: There is a high prevalence of enuresis in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, yet research regarding treatment for this group has been neglected. The efficacy of treatment using bell and pad alarm therapy is not well reported especially in children with neurodevelopmental disorders. This study sought to compare the treatment efficacy of practitioner-assisted bell-and-pad enuresis alarm therapy for children with neurodevelopmental disorders and typically developing children.

Enuresis Management in Children: Retrospective Clinical Audit of 2861 Cases Treated with Practitioner-Assisted Bell-and-Pad Alarm.

Study Design: This review was conducted across 7 Australian clinical practices. The primary outcome measure was the time taken for children with either primary, secondary, monosymptomatic, or nonmonosymptomatic enuresis to be dry for 14 consecutive nights.

Testing the Bivalent Fear of Evaluation Model of Social Anxiety: The Relationship between Fear of Positive Evaluation, Social Anxiety, and Perfectionism.

The Bivalent Fear of Evaluation (BFOE) model of social anxiety proposes that fear of negative evaluation (FNE) and fear of positive evaluation (FPE) play distinct roles in social anxiety. Research is however lacking in terms of how FPE is related to perfectionism and how these constructs interact to predict social anxiety. Participants were 382 individuals from the general community and included an oversampling of individuals with social anxiety.

Effectiveness of an alarm intervention with overlearning for primary nocturnal enuresis.

Objective: To explore the effectiveness of the enuresis alarm with overlearning for treatment of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE). A key objective was to explore the effect of overlearning on treatment gains, and its impact on relapse.

Patients And Methods: The RMIT University Psychology Clinic has been treating PNE in the community for more than 20 years following a standardized treatment protocol.
