3. Résumé


«Parental feelings and actions to the diagnosis of OI (osteogenesis imperfecta) in their child shape and manage the trajectory of the disease over time. This shaping and managing process is very complex and non-linear. Parental and child responses are interrelated and dependent on their temperaments, the familial environment, and the severity of the disease. Our findings point to the need for a greater understanding of parental responses in other settings. However, practical implications were derived such as the need for a tailored life-span and family-centered psychosocial support for families; and increased awareness and training among health professionals about the complexity of these parental experiences.» (p. 348)
