Ítem Acceso Abierto Intervenciones de enfermería en osteogenesis imperfecta(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Garcia Zeas, Jessica Soraya; Mesa Cano, Isabel Cristina; 0107288276Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by a rare genetic disorder of connective tissue due to several genetic mutations affecting collagen; these mutations result in bone fragility of varying degrees of severity. Objective: To identify nursing interventions in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Materials and Methods: This research was structured through a literature review using a search of scientific databases, including Redalyc, ProQuest, SciELO, Dialnet, and PubMed, among others, and information corresponding to the Ministry of Public Health (MSP by its Spanish acronym). Keywords such as osteogenesis imperfecta, nursing care, surgical interventions, treatment, and prevalence were used, then search equations were formed using the Boolean operator AND. Results: Prevalence was found in France, with 1 in 10,000 to 20,000 inhabitants; in North America, with 1 in 10,000 births; and in Ecuador, with 1 in 12,000 to 15,000 live births. Clinical features vary according to the type of OI presented by the patient. The most common include decreased bone density, short stature, bone fragility, recurrent fractures in mild trauma, and bluish-colored sclerae. Bisphosphonates are the pharmacological treatment of choice since they help alleviate bone pain, reduce fractures, and enhance mobility. Conclusion: Nursing staff play an essential role since, through their care, they focus on the prevention and control of the clinical characteristics of the pathology. Keywords: osteogenesis imperfecta, nursing care, surgical interventions, treatment and prevalence.
