Home care needs assessment among caregivers of children and adolescents with osteogenesis imperfecta: a cross-sectional study

CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that future scientific research and nursing guidance should focus on OI patients' physical training, medication management, pain relief, fracture prevention, and treatment. In addition, caregivers of patients with poor self-care ability should receive special attention in the development of interventions. This study can help with addressing the unmet home care needs of caregivers of children and adolescents with OI. It is vital to develop a personalized intervention plan based on patients' self-care ability.PMID:38641795 | PMC:PMC11027538 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02367-8
