Abstract

Introduction:- Child enuresis is a widespread problem that can be upsetting for children and
their families. Design:- The present study is a quasi-experimental one, aimed to provide an
educational program for mothers to enhance their knowledge, attitude and practice toward their
children with nocturnal enuresis. Methodology:- This study was conducted at El Fayoum
University Hospital and El Fayoum general hospital. The study involved 50 mothers having
children with nocturnal enuresis. Tools of the study involved an interview questionnaire to assess
socio-demographic characteristics of mothers and their children, mothers' knowledge regarding
enuresis as well as their attitude and practice. Results:- showed that, mothers' levels of
knowledge about enuresis, attitude and practice have dramatically improved after the educational
program implementation with statistically significant differences between pre-post
implementation. There were statistically significant relations between mothers' level of
knowledge about enuresis, attitude and practice. Conclusion:- This study recommended that
continuous educational program for mothers having children with nocturnal enuresis to update
their knowledge and skills about the advancing technology in the health care for their children.
