Abstract


Mothers had poor knowledge (11.85 ± 2.67) of basic facts regarding nocturnal enuresis. Their attitudes were moderately positive (43.06 ±6.42) towards nocturnal enuresis in their children. The practice was poor (31.75 ±3.72) in the management of nocturnal enuresis. Among variables, child’s fear of darkness and duration of breast feeding (P <0.01), mothers parenting task (P <0.01) and fathers parenting task (P <0.05) were associated with nocturnal enuresis frequency of children.
