Heap, J. (2004). Enuresis in children and young people: A public health nurse approach in New Zealand. Journal of Child Health Care, 8(2), 92–101.
Abstract: This article discusses a child/adolescent-centred primary nocturnal enuresis program and service that is administered by a group of public health nurses in South Auckland. Enuresis is the involuntary passing of urine. Many children and adolescents who are nocturnal enuretics exhibit behaviours such as low self-esteem, withdrawal, less ambition and increased anxiety. These children are often low achievers within the school system and become a problem for their family and school.
