Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Urology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • A study investigated the prevalence of nocturnal enuresis in 1882 primary school pupils in the Netherlands.
  • The research also evaluated the efficacy of dry bed training as a youth healthcare intervention.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prevalence of bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) in primary school-aged children.
  • To assess the effectiveness of dry bed training for managing nocturnal enuresis.

Summary:

  • 8% of children experienced bedwetting at least weekly, with boys affected twice as often as girls.
  • Secondary nocturnal enuresis was common in 7-8 year olds, often linked to specific stressors.
  • A significant proportion (56%) had a parental history of nocturnal enuresis; 25% of girls with enuresis had UTIs compared to 0.4% in controls.
  • Dry bed training demonstrated an 86% success rate, with 75% remaining dry after six months, despite some transient relapses.

Impact:

  • Nocturnal enuresis causes significant emotional distress for children and parents.
  • Dry bed training is a feasible and effective youth healthcare strategy for children aged 8 and above, especially when other methods fail.
  • This intervention can be implemented outside of hospital settings, integrating into routine youth health services.
