Abstract

Background: Enuresis, which is frequently diagnosed amongst school-children, is an important psychosocial problem for both parents and children. Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of enuresis in Saudi children in Hail, and to identify common methods used for its management. Subjects and Methods: A cross sectional epidemiological study performed among children living in Hail, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was prepared for this study and distributed to the parents of 700 children whom aged 5-?12 years. Results: Of the 700 questionnaires distributed, 652 (93.14%) were completed. The overall prevalence of nocturnal enuresis was 22.7% (n = 148). Female gender, young age, history of enuresis among parents or siblings, deep sleep and history of urinary tract infections and other social and psychological problems were associated factors with enuresis. The percentage of children with enuresis seen by physician for treatment was 27% only. The percentage of children with enuresis treated traditionally was 40%. Conclusion: Our results with enuresis prevalence and associated factors were comparable to other epidemiologic studies from various countries. Furthermore, we demonstrated that families in Hail do not pay sufficient attention to enuresis and most of enuretic children do not receive professional treatment.
