Objective: To evaluate quality of life and sleep in monosymtomatic enuretic children and their mothers before treatment.
Materials and Methods: Two hundrend fo-urty cases were included to this study. Of the cases 124 had monosymptomatic enuresis and 116 voluntary children had no health problems. The quality of life was evaluated according to Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PEDSQL) in children. Quality of life for their mothers were evaluated using the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Sleep quality of children and their mothers were evaluated according to Pitt-sburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Results: Emotional and school functioning were significantly higher in children with mo-nosymptomatic enuresis than that of controls for child self-report and parent proxy-report (p=0.02, p=0.03 and p=0.03, p=0.04 respec-tively). The quality of life of the mothers as shown by SF-36, the emotional domain sco-re and bodily pain score were significantly lo-wer compared to controls (p=0.02 and 0.04). However PSQI total and subgroup scores were not stasitically significant in between child-ren groups, subjective sleep quality, sleep la-tency domain scores and total scores in enure-tic children’s mothers were significantly higher than healty group (p=0.04 ,p=0.03 and p=0,02 respectively).
Conclusions: Monosymptomatic enuresis is a disease that negatively affects the quality of life of children and their mothers before treatment. In additon sleep quality of the-ir mothers are adversly affected because of children’s disease. Mo-nosymptomatic enuresis should be treated in children because of these reasons.
