Since 1904 bedwetting alarms have been developed and scientifically
described for the treatment of nocturnal enuresis, also known as
bedwetting. Currently, several bedwetting alarms of various designs are
available on the overseas market. These can be imported to South
Africa at great cost. As affordable alarms were not readily available in
South Africa, there was a need to develop and evaluate a new unit.
In order to improve the efficacy of this new device, it was accompanied
by detailed user guidelines and instructions. The use of this alarm was
tested and the observations of thirteen bedwetting children recorded.
Additionally, a programme was developed to counsel enuretic children
with accompanying problems, and to assist the parents in dealing with
their child's bedwetting problem. The observations and findings will
be useful in practice and future research. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Educational Psychology - Specialisation in Guidance and Counselling)
