Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Monosymptomatic Nocturnal Enuresis (MNE) is defined as involuntarily nighttime bed-wetting after the age of 5 years without any other lower urinary tract symptoms and without a history of bladder dysfunction. MNE can lead to developmental and psychosocial problems on child and negative impact of the family life. It has been recommended that consisting of collaboration with children and their parents is very crucial point to tackle this disturbing condition.

Behavioral therapy can be effective and these should be first-line treatment for MNE on the basis of the attitude of the child and parents. The behavioral therapy is composed of a lot of verbal recommendations including urination before going to sleep at night, a monitorisation daily fluid intake, a restriction of fluid volume before bedtime, rewards for dry nights, etc. However, we have noticed that these instructions have not been documented as a written list yet. We have analysed the literature and composed several recommendations were formed as a written check-list for parents to instruct.

In this present study, we aimed to investigate the efficiency of check-list that are newly formed by a number of written behavioral instructions and demonstrate whether this rises awareness, consciousness and motivation of child's parents toward MNE.

This study was conducted as a prospective randomized study at the Urology Department, Ankara Training and Research Hospital, Medical Science University, Ankara, Turkey Of ninety six children and their parents, seventy-five were randomly selected from the Urology outpatient clinic complaining of MNE. They were divided into three groups according to the therapy which were defined by the investigators before recruitment. Twenty-five children and their parents were instructed only a verbal behavioral therapy, 25 were instructed a behavioral therapy with a written check-list form and 25 children received desmopressin treatment plus verbal behavioral therapy were randomly included in the study. Each participants in this study was recorded medical history, demographic data including age of children and parents, number of children, educational and economic status of parents, wet nights. Economic status of family was defined by the hunger and the poverty limits from data of Turkish Statistical Institute All children were done detailed physical examination to rule out abnormal physical development, presence of genitourinary or neurological diseases. Urine analysis, serum creatinine, blood urine nitrogen, sodium, potassium, complete blood count, ultrasonography or plain X ray if necessary were measured.

The parents in Group I were received verbal behavioral instruction. 25 parents in Group II were instructed to fulfill a check-list that were composed of written instructions during a 8 week period. Also children had to register their wet nights via daily voiding diary. 25 children in Group III were received desmopressin melt form 120 μg (Minirin, Ferring International center, Switzerland) once daily before going to bed for 2 months plus verbal behavioral instructions. Details and instructions about the drug and its use were given to the all children and their parents. All participants were checked every 2 weeks to control compliance rate of behavioral therapy (written or verbal) or medical treatment and analyse the response of the children with daily voiding diary.
