The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of enuresis and the factors associated with it among primary school children. This is a cross-sectional population-based study. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Six hundred and forty school children aged 6-16 years were selected randomly. Enuresis prevalence was 16.3% among boys and 13.8% among girls. The overall prevalence was 15%. Breastfeeding, first born children, family integrity and stability were found to be protective. Stressful life events before the age of 6 years, deep sleep, acute family psycho-social problems, recurrent urinary tract infection, constipation and congenital defects were found to be strongly associated with enuresis. Enuresis was also found to be associated with family history of enuresis. An important finding is that of the 83 children who had enuresis during sleep, 25 (30.1%) wet their beds during day time sleep (day sleep wetting). The importance of enuresis as a health problem has been affirmed and specific guidelines were suggested.
本研究的目的是确定小学生中遗尿症的患病率及其相关因素。这是一项基于人群的横断面研究。数据通过自行填写的问卷收集。随机选取了640名6至16岁的学童。男孩遗尿症患病率为16.3%，女孩为13.8%。总体患病率为15%。发现母乳喂养、头胎子女、家庭完整和稳定具有保护作用。6岁前的应激性生活事件、深度睡眠、急性家庭心理社会问题、复发性尿路感染、便秘和先天性缺陷与遗尿症密切相关。还发现遗尿症与遗尿症家族史有关。一项重要发现是，在83名睡眠中遗尿的儿童中，有25名（30.1%）在白天睡眠时尿床（白天睡眠尿床）。遗尿症作为一个健康问题的重要性得到了肯定，并提出了具体指导方针。
