Bedwetting in Teenagers - Assessment, Management, Prevention
Bedwetting in Teenagers – Assessment, Management, Prevention is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed for healthcare professionals working in paediatrics, adolescent health, nursing, general practice, continence care, mental health, and community healthcare settings. The course provides an evidence-based overview of adolescent nocturnal enuresis, including assessment, pathophysiology, psychosocial impact, treatment options, prevention strategies, and patient-centred support. Bedwetting, also known as nocturnal enuresis, is a common condition that may continue into adolescence and significantly affect emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, sleep quality, school participation, and social functioning. Although often underreported due to embarrassment and stigma, persistent bedwetting may indicate underlying physiological, psychological, or developmental factors requiring assessment and management.
