Abstract
Enuresis (bedwetting) is a common disorder that can lead to significant social and psychological problems among children. Prevention of this case is highly important, hence the impact of enuresis on child development can be overcome. Family history, psychological stress, constipation and poor toilet training can lead to enuresis. This study aims to discover factors related to enuresis in children aged 5-6 years in Padang City. A cross sectional study was held in Public Health Centre. The samples used in this study involved 178 children who were 5 and 6 years old. The data collection tool was questionnaires including several factors in terms of enuresis in children, this consisted of a family history questionnaire (IACAPAP), psychological stress (PSS-C), constipation, toilet training questionnaire. The results showed that less than half of total number of the children had enuresis (34.8%) and there was a relation among family history, constipation, toilet training (p value = 0.000) and psychological stress (p value = 0.003) with enuresis in children. It is recommended that parents should pay more attention to their children’s health such as stress and constipation, and nurses as educators are expected to provide information for parents about stress, constipation and implementation of toilet training in children in order to reduce the incidence of enuresis.
