Unlabelled:
Daytime wetting in children is a common problem and though behavioural and educational interventions have been recommended, they have not been extensively evaluated.
Aim:
To evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of an educational intervention (home workbook) for daytime wetting in children aged six to ten years.
Methods:
The workbook was piloted with two groups of children with daytime wetting. One group (n = 10) received verbal information only, while the other group (n = 10) received the same verbal information and the workbook supporting the verbal information. Telephone surveys were undertaken every two weeks to monitor the child's progress.
Results:
The workbook was acceptable and usable by both children and parents, and was positively evaluated. Though the results do not show a clinically meaningful improvement in symptoms, they suggest a larger trial is worthwhile.
Conclusion:
A simple, paper-based educational intervention for children and parents on the management of daytime wetting is acceptable and usable.
