Abstract

Background: Nocturnal enuresis has negative effects on children's sleep habits and quality of life. Implementing physical activity and regular exercise can probably have an effect on improving sleep habits and the quality of life of these children. Core Stability exercises can be mentioned among these exercises. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effects of core stability exercises on sleep habits and quality of life in children with nocturnal enuresis.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 70 children with nocturnal enuresis referred to the educational-therapeutic Shahid Mofateh polyclinic, affiliated with Yasuj University of Medical Sciences in 2022, were selected using a convenient sampling method from the available population. Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire and The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory generic version 4 were completed before and 48 hours after the end of the intervention. The intervention was conducted in 8 weeks, 3 sessions a week and each session lasted 45 minutes. SPSS software version 21 and chi-square, independent T and paired T tests were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results showed that after the completion of the intervention, the changes in the mean score of sleep habits and quality of life in both groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Core Stability Exercises are effective in the sleep habits and quality of life of children with nocturnal enuresis.
