Addressing the needs of teenagers with continence problems.
Adolescence refers to the period of great physical and emotional change experienced by 11 to 19-year-olds. A recent report aims to raise the profile of adolescent health (British Medical Association, 2003), and it is important to understand the impact of continence problems at a time in life when self-image is so important and wetting and soiling are particularly distressing. This article considers the specific needs of teenagers and ways of encouraging them to seek treatment.

Nocturnal enuresis: systems for assessment.
Childhood nocturnal enuresis, or bedwetting, is a common childhood condition that causes children and their families stress and embarrassment and which can radically affect the lives of these children. Penny Dobson and Anne Weaver outline how nurses can inform and support these families, and describe a research-based approach, the three systems, which provides a useful framework for assessing the problem before choosing the most appropriate treatment strategy. Specific help that could be offered teenagers is also outlined.
