Enuresis, a problem to be addressed by Primary Health Care due to its educational component

Abstract

Enuresis, commonly known as bedwetting, is a prevalent childhood condition that can persist into adolescence and adulthood, impacting social, emotional, and psychological well-being. Addressing enuresis through Primary Health Care (PHC) is essential not only for medical management but also for its educational component, involving families, caregivers, and schools in the holistic approach to treatment. This review aims to explore enuresis as a significant health issue within the domain of Primary Health Care, emphasizing its educational component in promoting awareness, understanding, and collaborative management strategies. By examining the educational aspects of enuresis management, including psychoeducation, behavioral interventions, and school-based support, the research seeks to highlight the role of PHC in addressing enuresis comprehensively. Enuresis presents a multifaceted challenge that necessitates a comprehensive approach involving medical, educational, and psychosocial components. By integrating educational strategies into Primary Health Care practices, healthcare providers can empower families, engage schools, and foster a supportive environment for children with enuresis, ultimately improving treatment adherence, outcomes, and quality of life for affected individuals.
