Enuresis results in behavioural disorder in children. This study investigated the behavioural disorders in children possessing primary enuresis.
In this cross-sectional study, 100 children with primary enuresis were referred to children's hospital Khorramabad; the census method was used in this study. Data were collected using a short screening instrument for enuresis psychological problems, the reliability and validity of which have been confirmed in previous studies. First, a questionnaire was used to assess academic failure, anxiety, behavioural disorders, sleep, and psychological disorders. Results obtained were compared in terms of gender and age. Statistical analyses using inferential and descriptive statistics including Chi-square and Fisher test were employed.
The average age of children was 8.46 years. Sixty-six per cent of participants were male and the rest of them were female. Ninety per cent of subjects were between the age range of 1-9 years, and 10% were over 10 years old. Forty-three per cent of children suffered from anxiety disorders and 34% had sleep disorders, 4% also suffered from academic failure. Among behavioural disorders, hyperactivity and restlessness were the most common disorders, and they were significantly higher in nine boys. Headache, obsessive, and sleep disorders were more common in children above 10. There was a significant correlation between eating disorders, headache, sleep disorders, and strange movements in males, while feelings of sadness were more common in females.
Social personality development in children with enuresis can be improved by informing parents of enuresis.
遗尿症会导致儿童出现行为障碍。本研究调查了患有原发性遗尿症儿童的行为障碍情况。
在这项横断面研究中，100名原发性遗尿症儿童被转诊至霍拉马巴德儿童医院；本研究采用普查法。使用一种用于遗尿症心理问题的简短筛查工具收集数据，该工具的信效度已在先前研究中得到证实。首先，使用问卷评估学业失败、焦虑、行为障碍、睡眠和心理障碍情况。根据性别和年龄对所得结果进行比较。采用包括卡方检验和费舍尔检验在内的推断性和描述性统计方法进行统计分析。
儿童的平均年龄为8.46岁。66%的参与者为男性，其余为女性。90%的受试者年龄在1至9岁之间，10%的受试者年龄超过10岁。43%的儿童患有焦虑症，34%的儿童有睡眠障碍，4%的儿童还存在学业失败问题。在行为障碍中，多动和坐立不安是最常见的障碍，在9名男孩中显著更高。头痛、强迫观念和睡眠障碍在10岁以上儿童中更为常见。男性的饮食失调、头痛、睡眠障碍和怪异动作之间存在显著相关性，而悲伤情绪在女性中更为常见。
通过告知家长有关遗尿症的情况，可以改善遗尿症儿童的社会人格发展。
