Relationship between Enuresis and Children’s Quality of Life

Enuresis had been reported affecting children in many aspects of life such as physosocial, emotion and school performance which leads to Quality of Life (QoL) impairment. This study aims to assess the relationship between enuresis and children’s quality of life. A cross-sectional study was performed in children between the age 5 to 18 years at Muara Batang Gadis, North Sumatera in April 2016. Enuresis was examined using questionnaire International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) and the measurement quality of life using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Generic Core Scales 4.0 version. Data was considered significant if p < 0.05. There was a significant difference in emotion segment of QoL in 13-18 yo enuretic children compared to healthy children and significant differences in PedsQL total score and emotion segment by age group in enuresis children.
