Bedwetting (enuresis) and behavior therapy address involuntary urination through assessment, education, and non-pharmacological interventions before considering medication. Primary enuresis (never consistently dry) is more common; secondary (after at least 6 months dry) may indicate stress or medical issue. Assessment: frequency; patterns; fluid intake; constipation; family history; and emotional factors. First-line treatment: behavior modification including: bedwetting alarms (most effective); scheduled voiding; reward systems; and limiting evening fluids. Medications (desmopressin, imipramine) if behavioral methods fail. Nursing role: provide empathetic support to child and family; educate about normal development; teach strategies; monitor progress. Documentation includes baseline patterns and response to interventions. Addressing shame and avoiding punishment is crucial. Most children outgrow enuresis spontaneously. Underlying causes (UTI, diabetes, sleep apnea) should be ruled out. Behavioral approaches empower child and have lasting benefits. Family patience and consistency are key.
