BACKGROUND Nocturnal enuresis (NE) may negatively affect social and emotional life as well as mood in both children and their mothers. The aim of this study is to evaluate severity of self-reported depressive symptomatology and determine the relevant factors in children with primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE) and their mothers by using depression inventories. METHODS Children Depression Inventory (CDI) for children and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for mothers were administered to the study group. The children and mothers in the patient and control groups were compared according to the depression inventory scores. The relationship of various sociodemographic factors with those scores was also investigated. RESULTS BDI scores of the mothers of children with primary MNE demonstrated minor depressive symptomatology and were significantly higher than the mothers in the control group (p = 0.002). Moreover, although within the normal range, CDI scores of the children with primary MNE were also significantly higher than the controls (p = 0.031). Main factors associated with BDI scores were the presence of primary MNE, maternal educational level, and CDI scores. School achievement of the children, monthly income of the family, and BDI scores were found to be correlated to the CDI scores. CONCLUSIONS Primary MNE was found to be associated with negative mood of the mothers in the present study. As misinformed parental attitudes adversely affect family dynamics, improved awareness of, and maternal education regarding primary MNE is vital in improving the holistic outcome of families affected by MNE.

原发性单症状性夜间遗尿症患儿及其母亲的自我报告的抑郁症状的严重程度及相关因素。

背景技术夜尿症（NE）可能会对儿童及其母亲的社交和情感生活以及情绪产生负面影响。这项研究的目的是通过使用抑郁量表来评估自我报告的抑郁症状的严重程度，并确定患有原发性单症状性夜间遗尿症（MNE）的儿童及其母亲的相关因素。方法将儿童儿童抑郁量表（CDI）和母亲儿童贝克抑郁量表（BDI）纳入研究组。根据抑郁量表得分比较患者和对照组的儿童和母亲。还研究了各种社会人口统计学因素与这些得分的关系。结果患有原发性MNE患儿的母亲的BDI评分显示出轻度的抑郁症状，并且显着高于对照组的母亲（p = 0.002）。此外，尽管处于正常范围内，但原发性MNE儿童的CDI评分也显着高于对照组（p = 0.031）。与BDI评分相关的主要因素是原发性MNE的存在，孕产妇教育水平和CDI评分。发现儿童的学业成绩，家庭的月收入和BDI得分与CDI得分相关。结论在本研究中发现原发性MNE与母亲的负面情绪有关。由于父母的误解对家庭动态产生不利影响，因此人们对以下方面的认识有所提高：
