Management of Monosymptomatic Enuresis in Children

Abstract

Enuresis is a health problem that is frequently seen in children and affects the quality of life of the child and the family. It is divided into two groups as monosymptomatic and non-monosymptomatic enuresis. Monosymptomatic enuresis is more common in children. The International Children's Continence Society (ICCS) recommends that monosymptomatic enuresis or enuresis nocturna can be used to mean the same thing as enuresis. This article focused on monosymptomatic enuresis and its nursing management. Families have considerable responsibilities in the prevention and treatment of enuresis. A holistic approach to the child and the family should be adopted in the care and treatment of the child with enuresis. With this respect, in every stage of health services, nurses play a significant role in the provision of training, counseling, and support services to the child with enuresis and the family. Nursing management of children with the enuresis problem is studied under four headings: 1) evaluation of children with enuresis; 2) non-pharmacological treatment approaches and nursing management; 3) pharmacological treatment and nursing management; 4) nursing management for the psychosocial effects of enuresis.
