Aim Parents of children with nocturnal enuresis (NE) may have uncertainty and anxiety. This study aimed to investigate the level of uncertainty and anxiety in the parents of children with NE and analyse its influencing factors. Design We conducted a descriptive cross‐sectional study among the parents of children with NE in China. Methods A general information questionnaire, the Parent Perception of Uncertainty Scale (PPUS), and the Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) were used. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing the parental uncertainty level independently. Results A total of 247 valid questionnaires were collected. The PPUS score of children with NE was 81.18 ± 10.82, and the anxiety self‐rating scale score was 41.86 ± 9.20. Parents' working status, the family’s per capita monthly income, and the children’s treatment time were the main influencing factors of parental illness uncertainty.

Objective This comparative study aims to assess psychological symptoms and family communication in children with elimination disorders in comparison to their healthy counterparts. Methods Utilizing a quantitative approach with a comparative design, the study employed the General Health Questionnaire, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Child Behavior Inventory, and Mother-Child Relationship Evaluation Questionnaire. The sample consisted of 25 children with urinary incontinence, 24 with fecal incontinence (treated at Imam Hossein and Milad Hospitals), and 23 healthy children, selected through convenience sampling. Results While there were no significant differences in general health and marital satisfaction among the groups, children with urinary and fecal incontinence exhibited higher intensity of behavior problems. Additionally, specific components of the mother-child relationship, including acceptance, overprotection, and rejection, were significantly elevated in the incontinence groups compared to the controls. Conclusion This study underscores the potential benefits of health measures, awareness programs, and family counseling in preventing socio-functional and emotional consequences in children with elimination disorders. Despite no significant differences in general health and marital satisfaction, timely treatment interventions are crucial to address behavior problems and enhance specific aspects of the mother-child relationship. Such interventions have the potential to improve the physical and mental well-being of both affected children and their parents.
