The article described the nursing experience of a osteogenesis imperfecta child who underwent fracture surgery and his primary caregiver. The nursing period lasted from November 3 to 12, 2013. Watson's theory was used as a guideline to assess the patient's needs. After evaluation, the following issues were identified: In preoperative phase, the patient was in fear of surgery, separa-tion from his mother and unfamiliarity to the environment; in intro operative phase, risk of injury from surgical positioning, foreign body retention and the application of electric knife; in postoperative phase, acute pain induced by the surgical wound; primary caregiver stress as result of insufficient knowledge on the surgery, stress, lack of self-confidence as well as related resources and sup-port. During the nursing period, the author established a trusting relationship with the patient and the primary caregiver, enhanced the primary caregiver's familiarity with key points of care, encouraged her to join the patient association and reduce her stress by consulting other patients and caregivers.
