Abstract

Objective: to describe the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of schoolchildren with bladder and bowel dysfunction treated in a specialized Nursing outpatient service. Method: a retrospective study with a quantitative, descriptive and documentary approach, conducted from April to May 2019 with medical records of children treated in an advanced Nursing practice service specialized in Uropediatrics and located in a university hospital from Distrito Federal, Brazil. The data were analyzed both in a descriptive manner and through Pearson’s chi-square test for associations. Results: All the children presented functional intestinal constipation associated with urinary  symptoms, with prevalence of voiding urgency (80%) and retention maneuvers (70%). A statistically significant difference was identified between gender and voiding urgency symptoms, as well as with increased and reduced urinary frequency. The main comorbidity was Urinary Tract Infection (33%). Conclusion: this study contributed to planning and implementing more sensitive and specific interventions regarding the care process in Uropediatrics.
