“…There are also suggestions that parents of children with PNE suffer from psychological problems, which are due to frustration and a loss of con dence in parenting skills and guilt in performing the parental role (12)(13)(14). Moreover, Rushton noted that family reactions to enuresis could complicate compliance with and effort in treatment (15). These studies suggested a need to evaluate the psychosocial symptoms in both the child and the parents in any case of enuresis.…”

Background: Parents' emotional intelligence comprises their prior knowledge, IQ , and technical or professional skills, which can influence chidlren's emotional dimensions and lead to voiding dysfunction. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between parents' emotional intelligence and enuresis in children for a more effective management of this problem. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 200 children (age range, 5 -16 years) in Amir Kabir hospital. The case group consisted of 100 children with nocturnal enuresis, and the control group included 100 healthy children. The demographic and emotional intelligence questionares were completed by children and their parents. Also, emotional status was analyzed, based on the global emotional quotient inventory (EQ-i), which was completed by the parents. Finally, the data were compared between the case and control groups. Results: The demographic characteristics were not significantly different between the groups (P > 0.05). All indicators of emotional intelligence were significantly different between the case and control groups (P = 0.001; Table 1). Different aspects of parents' emotional intelligence, including problem-solving, happiness, independence, stress tolerance, self-actualization, emotional awareness, realism, interpersonal relationships, optimism, self-respect, continence, flexibility, responsibility, sympathy, and selfexpression were significantly different between the groups (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Attention to the parents' emotional intelligence may be important in the management of enuresis, and we can reduce the duration of nocturnal enuresis by raising the parents' emotional intelligence.

“…There is no sound evidence in most contemporary literature that psychological issues "cause" bed-wetting, and most consider it a biobehavioral problem, for most cases (Husmann, 1996;Nagaard & Djurhuus, 1993;Rushton, 1993a;Shapiro, 1985;Warzak, 1993).…”

“…A urine culture should be conducted on all girls. Boys with none of the symptoms of UTI do not generally require a urine culture (Ack et al, 1984;Rushton, 1993a). Specific gravity should be evaluated; a reading of >1.024 will rule out concentration defects as a cause of obligatory polyuria (Bicknell et al, 1995;Rushton, 1993a).…”

Enuresis can be a source of family crisis, and can contribute to a lack of self-esteem in the affected child. It must be stressed to both parent and child that improvement is gradual and largely a function of maturation in cases where no organic problem is identified. Research shows that many enuretic children seem to have small bladder capacities (Long, 1991), and that the majority have a polyuric factor such as a decreased level of AVP that is amenable to replacement therapy with desmopressin (Bloom, 1993; Hamburger, 1993; Hjälmås & Bengtsson, 1993; Nørgaard & Djurhuus, 1993). Utilizing pharmacologic treatment can accelerate spontaneous cure or act as a substitute until time provides nocturnal continence (Nørgaard & Djurhuus, 1993). Nurse practitioners can use multiple modalities in a holistic approach to reframe this problem and to involve children in solving their own problem. The child who is given a basic understanding of the physiology involved in the healing process will be able to identify inner healing resources and utilize external resources available to him or her. This approach begins with children's imaging the desired outcome of urinary control and ends with achieving increased self-esreem and the sense of competence they deserve.
