HUBUNGAN PENGGUNAAN DIAPERS SELAMA MASA TOILET TRAINING DENGAN KEJADIAN ENURESIS PADA ANAK PRASEKOLAH

Abstract

Enuresis (bed-wetting) is still the most common health problem in children. The phenomenon that occurs at this time is that many parents do not want to be bothered by changing the child's pants when bedwetting so using practical methods to put diapers on children so that children do not wet, even though this actually makes the child unable to control urination which can result in enuresis. This study aimed to correlate the diapers usage during toilet training with the incidence of enuresis in preschool children. Correlation analytic research design with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who had children in RA Al Hidayah 1 & 2, Tempuran Village, Pull District, Sidoarjo Regency, amounting to 88 people. The sampling technique of this study was total sampling. The sample in this study amounted to 88 people. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis uses crosstab. The results of this study suggestes that the majority of respondents never used diapers during toilet training, which was 49 children (55.7%), and almost all respondents did not experience euresis, 69 children (78.4%). There was correlation between the diapers usage during the toilet training period with the incidence of enuresis. Children who had never used diapers are easier to control bladder and anal sphincter because the feeling of wet or dirty on the pants would make the child uncomfortable compared to children who used diapers.
