不规则的排尿和排便习惯会导致排尿和排便问题。接受这些问题治疗的学童通常不遵守学校定期上厕所的建议,声称对学校厕所有负面看法。这项研究调查了6至16岁的学龄儿童对学校厕所的看法,以及这种看法是否会影响学校的排便习惯。约385名6至16岁的瑞典学童接受了半结构问卷调查。13至16岁的儿童对此的负面看法最多。25%(总体16%)的年龄较大的儿童报告从未使用过学校厕所小便,80%(总体63%)从未使用过。视觉和嗅觉以及情感限制阻碍了孩子们使用学校厕所。孩子们对学校厕所的认知通常基于外表、难闻的气味和不安全感。孩子们的感知影响了他们的厕所习惯,他们宁愿忍受身体上的不适,也不愿忍受使用学校厕所带来的心理和社会不适。孩子们已经在遭受艺术的折磨。如果不敢一天内定期上厕所,任何肠道或肠道问题都会面临特别的困难。
Irregular bladder and bowel habits can contribate to urinary and bowel problems. Schoolchildren undergoing treatment for these problems often do not follow the recommendation of regular toilet visits at school, claiming negative perceptions of school toilets. This study examined 6- to 16-year-old schoolchildren's perceptions of school toilets and whether the perceptions affect bladder and bowel habits at school. Some 385 Swedish schoolchildren aged 6 to 16 years were surveyed using a semistructured questionnaire. Children aged 13 to 16 years had the most negative perceptions. Twenty-five percent (overall 16%) of older children reported never using the school toilet to urinate, and 80% (overall 63%) never used it to defecate. Perceptions of sight and smell and emotional constraints hindered children from using the school toilets. Children generally based their perceptions of school toilets on physical appearance, offensive smell, and feelings of insecurity. Children's perceptions affected their toilet habits and would rather endure physical discomfort than the psychological and social discomfort of using the school toilet. Children already suffering from art. nary tract or intestinal problems face particular difficulties without regular toilet visits daring the day.
