AB  - AIM: Enuresis is a common childhood disorder that negatively affects children's 
      social and psychological well-being. This study investigated the psychological 
      and emotional problems of children in Taiwan who wet the bed between the ages of 
      six and 15 by comparing feedback from the children, their parents and a control 
      group. METHODS: This case study featured 93 children with primary nocturnal 
      enuresis from enuresis clinics, and their parents, and 98 nonenuretic controls 
      and parents from the local community. All the parents completed the Behavioural 
      and Emotional Rating Scale (BERS) and all the children completed the Teenage 
      Self-Concept Scale (TSCS). T-scores were used for statistical comparisons and 
      high scores related to higher self-concept. RESULTS: The parents and their 
      children displayed different perceptions of enuresis, with more behavioural and 
      emotional problems in enuretic children. Older children and children with more 
      severe enuresis reported more difficulties, and low maternal education was also a 
      risk factor. CONCLUSION: Parental attitudes and perceptions towards bed-wetting 
      were different from their children's. The children's age, enuresis severity and 
      their mothers' educational level were potential risk factors that affected 
      well-being. Health practitioners need to facilitate communication between 
      enuretic children and their parents in addition to monitoring their psychological 
      well-being.
