RESUMO
Nocturnal enuresis is a chronic disorder that generates countless problems to the child and their parents affecting about 10% of seven-year-old children. Bedwetting has significantly negative impacts on the self-esteem and the performance of children. The aim of the current study is to assess the quality of like in enuretic children, as well as its association to sex and age. Enuretic and non-enuretic children answered the AUQEI questionnaire. The total number of participants was 88, 39 of which were enuretic (23 boys), and 49 non-enuretic (27 boys), from ages between 6 and 11. Enuretic children displayed loss in quality of life when compared to nonenuretic (35,9% x 16,3%, p=0,035). No significant differences were found, in the association of sex, gender and quality of like. These results suggest that, children with nocturnal enuresis have 187% more chances of having loss in quality of life, when compared to non-enuretic ones
