Využití letních táborů pro děti trpící enurézou a enkoprézou
The use of summer camps for children with enuresis and encopresis

Summary/Abstract: Psychologists often come across the issues of enuresis (bedwetting) and encopresis (involuntary defecation) in practice and, therefore, it may be assumed that they will welcome a thesis on this topic. The aim of the research was to analyse and describe the influence of summer camp (“SC”) rehabilitation stays for children suffering from enuresis and encopresis on their diseases. The author collected data via interviews, observation, and document analysis. The cooperating psychologists contributed to the methodology with outcomes of psychological assessment. The sample included 10 children aged 7 to 13, suffering from enuresis; in case of two children encopresis was also referred. Parents of these children as well as specialists (psychologists, paediatricians and nephrologists) were also addressed. The results of the research showed that the SCs contribute to the improvement of a psychosocial situation of children suffering from enuresis and encopresis. Furthermore they also positively influence the frequency of bedwetting and soiling.
