what is viewed as part of a continuum of responses by the child to a variety of internal/external experiences (biological/environmental)?
behavioral variations
definition: temperament
genetically influenced behavioral disposition that is stable over time; “how” of behavior vs the “why” = motivation of the “what” = ability; independent psychological attribute that is expressed as a response to an external stimulus (experiences –> influences temperament –> influences responses of others in child’s environment); hard to evaluate in younger ages d/o variety of internal/external experiences
how common is it for a child in 1st grade to wet the bed? (%)
20%
Enuresis: prevalence
-boys or girls?
-age?
boys, among 7-9yr olds
Enuresis: definition
repeated urination into clothing during the day and into the bed at night by child who is chronologically and developmentally OLDER THAN 5 YEARS
-this pattern of urination MUST OCCUR at least TWICE A WEEK for 3 MONTHS
Enuresis: two types
- monosymptomatic (never have been dry at night for >6MO with no daytime accidents)
-reflects a maturational disorders (delay in the maturation of the urologic and neurologic systems) with no underlying organic problem - complicated/non-monosymptomatic (involves nocturnal enuresis and daytime incontinence; reflects underlying disorder)
Enuresis type 1
-causes
-evaluation
-genetic; children have higher threshold for arousal (don’t wake to full bladder sensation); overproduction of urine from dec production of desmopressin or resistance to ADH
-hx and physical exam; every child should have UA including specific gravity; obtain urine culture in girls
Enuresis type 1
-first line treatment
-second line treatment
-education and avoidance of being judgmental/shameful towards child; behavioral strategies used for 3 months every night (limit liquids before bed, awaken child at night, bedwetting alarms); parents need to be active participants (most common cause of failure is child does not awaken or parents do not wake child)
-desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) –> decreases urine production; high relapse rate when medications are stopped
Enuresis type 2
-evaluation
-treatment
-consider underlying pathology (cystitis, diabetes insipidus, seizure disorders, neurogenic bladder, anatomical abnormalities of urinary tract system, constipation, and psychological stress/child maltreatment. obtain complete hx and physical exam, diary that includes daily record of voiding and fecal elimination
-correct underlying cause; referral to peds specialist
Encopresis
-prevalence (ages)
-definition
-1-3% children experience this problem; occurs most between 5-6yrs
-repeated passage of stool into inappropriate places (underpants) by child who is chronologically or developmentally older than 4 years. occurs EACH MONTH for at least 3 MONTHS and is NOT ATTRIBUTABLE to physiologic effects of substance of other medical condition except to mechanisms involving constipation
Encopresis - what does it most often result from?
constipation (90%)
Encopresis:
-evaluation
-treatment
-complete hx, physical exam, rectal exam; abd XR (to note degree of constipation, appearance of bowel, if obstruction present)
-education, support; behavioral strategies (sit on toilet after meals), do not punish/no guilt; establish regular bowel regimen; encourage BM daily
