Aspects of parenting are an under-investigated topic amongst children with voiding complaints. We aimed to investigate the association between voiding complaints amongst children and two specific parenting-related behaviours: 1) parental availability during the child's leisure time and 2) frequency of witnessing interparental conflict.
Children aged between 6 and 11 years with their parents were the participants. Two survey forms and informed consent form were sent to potential participants via children's teacher. Voiding dysfunction complaints were evaluated with the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptom Scale (DVISS).
Data analyses were performed with 1101 eligible participants. The mean duration of parental availability during the child's leisure time was below 2 hours per day. Nearly one out of every four children witnessed interparental conflict at least once a month. Age, educational level of the mother, parental availability for the child's leisure time, and frequency of witnessing parental conflicts were found to be significantly associated with DVISS ratings. Adjusting age, socioeconomic level, and educational level of the parents and later adjusting parental availability during the child's leisure time did not change the association of frequency of witnessing interparental conflict with DVISS rates. An increase in the age, educational level of the mother, and parental availability during the child's leisure time was correlated with better scores on DVISS, while an increase in the frequency of witnessing interparental conflict strongly correlated with worse scores.
Exposing children to interparental conflicts and shorter togetherness with their leisure time is associated with voiding complaints.
育儿方面是排尿问题儿童中研究不足的课题。我们旨在研究儿童排尿问题与两种特定的育儿相关行为之间的关联：1）父母在孩子闲暇时间的可用性，以及 2）目睹父母间冲突的频率。
6 至 11 岁的儿童及其父母是参与者。两个调查问卷和知情同意书通过孩子的老师发送给潜在参与者。排尿功能障碍的投诉用排尿功能障碍和尿失禁症状量表（DVISS）进行评估。
对 1101 名合格参与者进行数据分析。孩子闲暇时间父母的可用时间平均不足 2 小时。近四分之一的儿童每月至少目睹一次父母间的冲突。年龄、母亲的教育水平、孩子闲暇时间父母的可用性以及目睹父母冲突的频率与 DVISS 评分显著相关。调整年龄、父母的社会经济水平和教育水平以及后来调整孩子闲暇时间父母的可用性并未改变目睹父母间冲突的频率与 DVISS 率之间的关联。孩子年龄、母亲教育水平和闲暇时间父母的可用性的增加与 DVISS 评分的提高相关，而目睹父母间冲突频率的增加与评分的降低密切相关。
让孩子接触父母间的冲突以及与闲暇时间的相处时间缩短与排尿问题有关。
