An interactive computer program effectively educates children about nocturnal enuresis, significantly improving their knowledge. This multimedia tool enhances understanding and engagement for children experiencing bedwetting.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric urology
  • Health informatics
  • Educational technology

Background:

  • Children with nocturnal enuresis have specific information needs.
  • Existing educational methods may not fully engage or cater to all children, particularly those with lower literacy levels.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify information needs of children with nocturnal enuresis.
  • To design, develop, and evaluate an interactive computer program for delivering this information.

Main Methods:

  • An 18-month development process involved input from children, parents, and professionals.
  • The program was evaluated in 65 children at a hospital enuresis clinic and 43 healthy schoolchildren (aged 8-10) for usability and knowledge gain.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A modular, interactive computer program using multimedia elements (sound, voice, animation) was created.
  • Significant increases in knowledge scores were observed in both clinic attendees and schoolchildren post-program use (P < 0.001).
  • Knowledge improvements were sustained at 6-10 month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The interactive program effectively captures children's attention and enhances their understanding of enuresis.
  • Interactive multimedia can serve as a valuable supplement to information provided by healthcare professionals.
  • This communication approach is particularly beneficial for children with limited literacy skills.
