RESUMO
Abstract Objective: To evaluate and correlate, before and after the therapeutic intervention, the behavioral problem scores evaluated by the CBCL/6-18 questionnaire and the quality of life indexes evaluated by the PedsQL™ 4.0 in patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Method: After the initial evaluation and completion of the CBCL/6-18 questionnaire, a multidisciplinary evaluation and completion of the PedsQL™ 4.0 questionnaire was performed. Of the initially evaluated 140 children and adolescents aged 6-16 years, 58 were excluded due to non-monosymptomatic enuresis or associated comorbidities. Of the initially included 82 patients, who were randomized to three treatment groups, 59 completed the CBCL/6-18 and PedsQL™ 4.0 questionnaires at the end of the treatment and were included in this study. The α error was set at 5% for ruling out the null hypothesis. Results: Of the total of 59 participants, 45.8% responded with total success, 23.7% were partially successful, 23.7% did not reach the improvement criteria, and 6.8% gave up the treatment. There was a significant increase in quality of life indexes and a reduction of post-intervention behavioral problem scores, in the three proposed modalities, in patients who had a total or partial response to treatment. There was no correlation between higher scores of pre-treatment behavior problems and therapeutic failure. Conclusions: Only the participants who successfully responded to interventions showed improvement in quality of life and behavioral problems, which indicates that enuresis is a primary problem that has a negative impact on these parameters. The authors suggest that it is possible to achieve success in the treatment of monosymptomatic enuresis, even in patients with high pre-intervention behavioral problem scores.
Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar e relacionar, pré e pós-intervenção terapêutica, em pacientes com enurese noturna monossintomática, os escores de problemas de comportamento, avaliados pelo questionário CBCL/6-18, e os índices de qualidade de vida, avaliados pelo PedsQL™ 4.0. Método: Após avaliação inicial e preenchimento CBCL6/18, procedeu-se avaliação multidisciplinar e preenchimento do PedsQL™ 4.0. Das 140 crianças e adolescentes de 6 a 16 anos inicialmente avaliados, 58 foram excluídos por enurese não monossintomática ou comorbidades associadas. Dos 82 pacientes inicialmente incluídos e randomizados em três grupos de tratamento, 59 preencheram o CBCL/6-18 e PedsQL™ 4.0 no fim do tratamento e puderam ser incluídos neste trabalho. O erro alfa foi estabelecido em 5% para descarte da hipótese de nulidade. Resultados: Dos 59 participantes 45,8% responderam com sucesso total, 23,7% tiveram sucesso parcial, 23,7% não atingiram critério de melhoria e 6,8% desistiram do tratamento. Verificou-se aumento significativo dos índices de qualidade de vida e redução dos escores de problemas de comportamento pós-intervenção, nas três modalidades propostas, nos pacientes que obtiveram resposta total ou parcial ao tratamento. Não se demonstrou correlação entre maiores escores de problemas de comportamento pré-tratamento e insucesso terapêutico. Conclusões: Apenas os participantes que responderam com sucesso às intervenções melhoraram em sua qualidade de vida e problemas comportamentais, o que indica que a enurese é um problema primário que impacta negativamente esses parâmetros. Sugere-se que é viável obter sucesso no tratamento da enurese monossintomática, mesmo em pacientes com altos escores de problemas de comportamento pré-intervenção.

Existem diversos estudos sobre preditores da não adesão, mas poucos mostram estratégias efetivas para lidar com esse problema. Uma revisão da literatura sobre desistência em psicoterapia mostrou que quase metade dos pacientes que ingressam num atendimento não o concluem. A medida na psicoterapia em geral é a de não adesão, ou desistência do tratamento; no presente trabalho serão apresentados dados relativos à adesão ao tratamento da enurese com alarme de urina. A taxa de desistência em um grupo de 61 crianças e adolescentes foi levantada considerando três condições: suas famílias não compareceram aos atendimentos, não responderam ao contato telefônico ou relataram ter abandonado os procedimentos. A desistência correspondeu a 19,6% da amostra e a idade do grupo dos desistentes era significativamente inferior, quando comparada à daqueles que aderiram ao tratamento. A já demonstrada associação entre a intolerância parental e a idade do filho explica os resultados e aponta para a necessidade de trabalho educativo intenso com os pais de adolescentes portadores de enurese.
Although there are several studies about adherence prevalence and predictors, few of them demonstrate efficient strategies to deal with this issue. A literature review found that about half of the patients that initiate psychotherapy do not conclude the process. Therefore, the measure of adherence is usually non-adherence, assessed by treatment dropout. In this paper, we present data related to dropout of alarm treatment for nocturnal enuresis. Sixty-one children and adolescents that initiated alarm treatment were included. Families missing appointments, not replying to phone calls or stating that treatment procedures were abandoned characterized dropout. Twelve families dropped out from treatment, corresponding to 19.6% of the sample. Only age was significantly related to dropout: younger children were more likely to abandon treatment. The already known relation between age and parentss intolerance explains the results and determinates the necessity of an intense informative work with parents of enuretic children.
Il existe plusieurs études sur ladhésion avec une ênfase dans la prévalence et les facteurs prédictifs de non-adhésion, mais peu de ces montre des stratégies efficaces pour faire face à ce problème. Une revue de la littérature sur l'abandon dans la psychothérapie a montré que près de la moitié des patients admis dans un soin de ne pas conclure. La mesure de la psychothérapie en général cést la non adhésion, représenté par l'abandon ou la cessation du traitement. Le document présente des données sur le traitement d'énurésie nocturne avec lalarm de urine. Nous avons mené une enquête sur les niveaux de retrait d'un groupe de 61 enfants et adolescents. Lorsque les familles n'ont pas assisté aux séances, ne répondent pas au téléphone ou auraient abandonné les procédures ont été considérés comme des décrocheurs. Le retrait est intervenu dans 12 des 61 cas, représentant 19,6% de l'échantillon. Considérant l'âge moyen des participantesverifica que ceux qui ont abandonné le traitement étaient significativement plus jeunes. L'association précédemment établie entre l'intolérance des parents et l'âge de l'enfant explique les résultats et les points à la nécessité d'un travail pédagogique intensif avec les parents d'adolescents atteints d'énurésie.
Hay diversos estudios sobre la prevalencia y predictores de la no adhesión, pero pocos muestran estrategias efectivas para hacer frente a este problema. Una revisión de la literatura sobre la deserción en la psicoterapia mostró que casi la mitad de los pacientes que ingresan en la atención no la concluyen. La medida en la psicoterapia en general es la de no adhesión, representada por el abandono o deserción del tratamiento. En este trabajo serán presentados datos relativos a la deserción al tratamiento de la enuresis través de la alarma de orina. Fue realizada una investigación sobre los niveles de la deserción de un grupo de 61 niños y adolescentes. Cuando las familias no comparecerán a las sesiones, no contestarán al telefono, o relatabán tener abandonado los procedimientos, fueron considerados desertores. La deserción ocurrió en 12 de 61 casos, lo que representa 19,6% de la muestra. La asociación ya establecida entre la intolerancia de los padres y la edad del niño explica los resultados y señala la necesidad de una intensa labor educativa con los padres de los adolescentes con enuresis.
