Abstract

Background: Voiding dysfunction (VD) is a frequent reason for primary care referrals to urologists and pediatric urologists. VD symptoms include urine incontinence (UI), urinary tract infection (UTI), hyperactive bladder, and constipation. Early detection of Nocturnal enuresis is critical due to its high frequency and the consequences for families and children regarding psychological and behavioral aspects.

Objectives: This study aims to determine the prevalence of voiding disorder in Palestine and its relationship to demographic, family, and behavioral risk factors.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: This study administered a 2-part validated questionnaire to the mothers of primary school-age children who had no history of urological disease between December 2022 and March 2023.

Results: Out of 169 children; daytime incontinence was found in 39 (23.2%) of the sample, whereas nocturnal enuresis was found in 49 (28.4%). Age was significantly correlated with voiding dysfunction, in which 25 (55.6%) were under the age of 7 years (P = .025).

Conclusion: According to our data, VD is a widespread health issue in primary school. Expanding our understanding of voiding dysfunction is important to eliminate the social stigma associated with voiding disorder and encourage parents and children to seek treatments and therapies. Furthermore, raising awareness will aid in early diagnosis, resulting in fewer long-term problems and earlier treatments. Raising awareness can be accomplished through educational programs focusing on primary care screening.

巴勒斯坦纳布卢斯小学生排尿功能障碍和夜间遗尿率评估:一项横断面研究
背景:排尿功能障碍(VD)是基层医疗机构向泌尿科和儿科泌尿科转诊的一个常见原因。排尿功能障碍的症状包括尿失禁(UI)、尿路感染(UTI)、膀胱亢进和便秘。由于夜遗尿的发生率很高,而且会给家庭和儿童带来心理和行为方面的后果,因此早期发现夜遗尿至关重要:本研究旨在确定排尿障碍在巴勒斯坦的发病率及其与人口、家庭和行为风险因素的关系:设计:横断面研究:本研究在 2022 年 12 月至 2023 年 3 月期间对无泌尿系统疾病史的小学学龄儿童的母亲进行了由两部分组成的有效问卷调查:在169名儿童中,有39名(23.2%)发现白天尿失禁,49名(28.4%)发现夜间遗尿。年龄与排尿功能障碍明显相关,其中 25 人(55.6%)的年龄小于 7 岁(P = .025):根据我们的数据,排尿功能障碍是小学中普遍存在的健康问题。扩大我们对排尿功能障碍的认识对于消除与排尿障碍相关的社会耻辱感、鼓励家长和儿童寻求治疗和疗法非常重要。此外,提高认识将有助于早期诊断,从而减少长期问题并尽早治疗。提高意识可以通过以初级保健筛查为重点的教育计划来实现。
