Abstract :

 Nocturnal enuresis is the indolently discharge of urine at night by a person with no physical diseases at the age when they could be expected to be dry. “An experimental study to evaluate the effectiveness of need based intervention on selected psychological parameter among children with nocturnal enuresis in selected settings”. Quantitative research approach was adapted, quasi experimental research design which includes control group and manipulation with no randomization. The setting of the study was Child Guidance Clinic, Government Institute of Child Health, Egmore, Chennai. The sample consisted of 40 children in experimental and control who were diagnosed to have nocturnal enuresis and met the inclusion criteria were chosen by Non probability purposive sampling technique. The tool used was a demographic variables and rating scale for assessing psychological parameter (stress). The calculated paired‘t’ value of t = 5.192 was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This clearly indicates that after the administration of need based intervention there was significant decrease in the level of psychological parameter (stress) in the experimental group. The calculated paired‘t’ value of t = 1.808 was not found to be statistically significant and this clearly indicates that there was no significant reduction in the level of psychological parameter (stress) in the control group. The calculated unpaired‘t’ value of t = 5.867 between the experimental and control group was found to be statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This clearly indicates that the need based intervention administered to the children with nocturnal enuresis was found to be effective to reduce the psychological parameter (stress) among children in the experimental group than the children in the control group.
