[Nursing care of osteogenesis imperfecta child: implications for nursing practice. A review of the literature].

This work provides a systematic review of literature, a careful analysis, synthesis and critical review, gathering the relevant findings and results of 20 clinical studies on Osteogenesis Imperfecta all with the ultimate goal of generating an overview of nursing assistance addressed to the child with this rare chronic disease. The works come from texts considered scientifically validated. The review will serve as a stimulus to improve nursing care and lead nurses to care conscious choices based on scientific evidence, as it is only by an experienced and experimental evidence that can rise to the optimal treatment for each patient (R. Iovine, 2000).
