Introduction: Aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated socio-demographic factors of enuresis among children aged between 6-18 years in Hatay. Materials and Methods: Five districts were selected in different geographic directions (east, west, north, south, and central) of Hatay. Five mother schools, twelve primary schools and twelve high schools were selected randomly from schools in these districts. The questionnaire was distributed to the students in order to fill by the parents. A total of 4000 questionaire were sent and re-collected one week later. Results: The percentage of the response rate was 74.6%. Age of the children ranges from 6 to 18 years (mean±SD; 11.26±3.03). Of the participants, 51.8% were girls and 48.2% were boys. Prevalence of enuresis were 7.4% in girls and 10.7% in boys (p=0.002). Mean age, body mass index and parents age were lower in the children with enuresis than the nonenuretics (p<0.001). Deficiency disorders, problems in friendship relation, failure in school, difficult aurosal, tonsillitis history, snoring and apnea were more frequent in the groups of enuresis (p<0.001). It was found that enuresis were more common in the children whose parents and siblings have enuresis history (p<0.001). The percentage of enuresis among the children with another urological problems was 27.4% (p<0.001). On the other hand, no relation was determined among the writing hand, birth place and birth type with enuresis. Child and mother age, bad friendship relations, low school success, enuresis history in siblings and parents and apnea period in sleeping were associated with enuresis in multipl logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: Enuresis seems associated with familial and behavioral factors. We suggest that evaluation of urinary and other systems in addition to physico-social behaviors of children and adolescence with enuresis may provide some benefit for management and therapy.
