Sequeira S J

Abstract :

Mothers had poor knowledge (11.85 � 2.67) of basic facts regarding nocturnal enuresis. Their attitudes were moderately positive (43.06 �6.42) towards nocturnal enuresis in their children. The practice was poor (31.75 �3.72) in the management of nocturnal enuresis. Among variables, child�s fear of darkness and duration of east feeding (P <0.01), mothers parenting task (P <0.01) and fathers parenting task (P <0.05) were associated with nocturnal enuresis frequency of children.
