      nocturnal enuresis in Hong Kong.
PG  - 475-9
AB  - The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioural problems and parenting 
      stress of enuretic children in the local Chinese community. The study recruited 
      89 children with primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) from the paediatric clinics of 
      9 regional hospitals in Hong Kong, and 131 age- and gender-matched control 
      children without PNE from the Student Health Centres. After adequate instruction, 
      the parents completed the Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and Parenting Stress 
      Index (PSI). A trained interviewer interviewed the parents and children and rated 
      the children on the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF). The PNE group had 
      worse overall scores in both the Problem and Competence scales of CBCL; in 
      particular, they had more attention problems and aggressive behaviours, and lower 
      social competence and school performance than the control group. Their parents 
      demonstrated more parenting stress as shown by higher PSI scores. CONCLUSION: In 
      the local Chinese population, PNE was associated with more childhood behavioural 
      problems and greater parenting stress. Attention to the psychosocial functioning 
      of the child and parents may be important in the management of enuresis.
