Abstract

This is an integrative review undertaken
with the objective of identifying factors associated with
the occurrence of lower urinary tract symptoms among
children in the school context. The search was under taken
in November 2013, in the following databases: Medical
Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative
Index to Nursing and Allied Health, and the Latin American
and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information,
without the use of a time limit. The sample was made
up of 12 articles. The majority of the studies addressed
measures of prevalence according to sex, age range and
symptom investigated. Three thematic categories were
also identified: factors associated with urinary symptoms,
conditions for using toilets in school, and the perception
of teachers and school nurses regarding patterns of child
elimination. The literature indicates the influence of the
school context on children’s micturition behavior, the
school nurse being mentioned as a strategic agent in the
promotion of healthy micturition habits in childhood.
