NOCTURNAL ENURESIS IN CHILDREN

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of bedwetting in

children aged 6-10 years of age and to investigate parental knowledge and attitudes toward

children who suffer from nocturnal enuresis. Research was conducted during the spring of

2002 by sending home a questionnaire to randomly selected parents of Kindergarten, 1 st

Grade and 4th Grade students in a large school district in northwestern Wisconsin. Research

indicated that most children achieve normal continence by the age of five to six years. Bed-

wetting at night is not considered significant until a child is older than six years of age and

has either established dryness and is experiencing a relapse as in secondary nocturnal

enuresis or has never established dryness such as in primary nocturnal enuresis. Research
