PROPOSE
In the team with urotherapists, enterostomal therapist and pediatric psychologists we have expe-
rienced similar patterns of problems and cooping in families with children who have incontinence
problems. This resulted in a decision to start parent education in groups.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Eleven parents, 5 couples and 1 single parent to six children, aged 5–7 years participated.
The education was performed on two occasions with a month intervals. Bladder and bowels informa-
tion was given. The parents were asked to write down the pattern of the incontinence as perceived
of themselves by filling in a scatter-plot graph for two weeks period at home. On the second training
session, the scale will be evaluated jointly and individual tools will be given.
RESULTS
10/11 parents were positive to meet parents in the same situation. One parent will not attend the
second training session the child had other problems to be investigated. The majority of parents
were pleased with the information they received prior to the first occasion.
CONCLUSIONS
Family education given in group with guidance of urotherapists, enterostomal therapist and psy-
chologists could be a complement to individual standard treatment of bowel and bladder problems
to give tools and motivation for the family to continue the treatment.

PURPOSE
The goal of intervention research is to implement clinically and economically beneficial interventions
into health care practice, i.e. getting evidence into practice. The Voiding school (VS) is a simple
educational intervention to treat children with incontinence. The first results of its effectiveness and
acceptability from the children's perspective are promising and encourage its implementation in
clinical practice. The aim of this paper is to present a study protocol for the evaluation of implemen-
tation of the VS.
