Abstract
BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (QoL) in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis might be influenced by impaired quality of sleep. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible deteriorations in QoL and sleep quality and the association between these parameters in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. METHODS: The study consisted of 44 children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and 27 healthy controls aged 6-15 years. KINDL QoL and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were applied to all children. RESULTS: Mean total KINDL scores in enuresis and control groups were 65.1 +/- 11.0 vs. 67.4 +/- 13.7, respectively (P = 0.44). PSQI scores were not significantly different between the groups (P > 0.05l). In the enuresis group, age showed significant negative correlation with self-esteem domain of KINDL (r = -0.39, P = 0.01) and positive correlation with sleep duration sub-score of the PSQI (r = 0.37, P = 0.03). Duration of enuresis showed significantly negative correlation with total KINDL score and self-esteem domain (r = -0.32 and r = -0.39, P = 0.04 and P = 0.01, respectively). There was significant correlation between physical well-being sub-score of KINDL with daytime dysfunction and total scores of PSQI (r = -0.53, P = 0.001 and r = -0.41, P = 0.02, respectively). Daytime dysfunction sub-score of PSQI was significantly correlated with friends sub-score of KINDL (r = -0.33, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: As age of the child and duration of enuresis increase, self-esteem domain of QoL worsens. Moreover, there is a significant correlation of physical well-being and friends domains of QoL score and total and daytime dysfunction scores of PSQI. These findings necessitate global evaluation of QoL and sleep quality in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis to increase efficacy of health care.
