The results show that even though in the short-term, successive stress level decreased for both the control party as well as the actual test group, overall in the long-term, the test group showed significant long-term solvency. In general the research shows that nursing intervention does have an impact on parenting stress and thus gives light into a method to solve the problem of chronic parenting stress from infantile colic. The actual impact on nursing practice however may be very minor, this is because treatment as outlined by this study would be extremely hard to impose in a non-controlled environment. Not only would the personal costs to the parents be significant, but also actual assistance and training of nurses to apply these theories would be hard to implement. In general this study is important because it will be the first in a series of examinations on how nursing practice can shed light on the infantile colic problem. This study starts to question the specific practices that might take affect to help parents dealing with such problems, but there is little that they can actually do to prevent the problems experienced within most households. In order to make the implications of this study have solid impact on the lives of households, more subsequent research must be done to determine how to adapt the nursing intervention techniques to self application strategies for the parents.
In general this research effort should be done on a broader scale because the obvious wide application of infantile colic related parental stress means that a solution needs to be found. In order to have an actual conclusive understanding of this effect, a research study must look at several factors. First, if application of nursing intervention can actually solve parental stress than it must be proven on a wide scale with a multiple demographic study and application. Second, comparison of nursing intervention along...
Without such a process, there is little conclusive value for the study because the results could be duplicated across many different application fields. Third, it must be conducted across different ethnic and geographic demographics because parental stress may impact different cultural mixes differently. This is evident because child rearing practice could be one of the biggest confounding variables in relation to parental stress.
Overall the conclusions formulated by the study appears slightly overestimating the effects of nursing intervention. Her studies do not accurately factor in the overall adjustment that parents make following raising a child with infantile colic. Therefore this study may be redundant in many ways, causing more worry then the problem may actually warrant. If it is true that this problem is so overwhelming within American society, then it makes sense that its effects would be significant within society. This however appears to not be true, therefore empirical evidence would indicate that we has parents adjust to the changes in infant needs extremely quickly, measurement of parental stress levels is a regressive measurement. The overall uncertainty generated by this test reveals that there is no real working method in relations to how we can apply this data. Although the study and techniques are interesting and warrants further studying and intensive analysis, it is not an imperative precisely because it is an observed trend that we have obviously been able to overcome through time. I would argue that this is far more a theoretical problem than an actual one, and the solution proposed is far too impractical to implement on a large scale. It is rather a symptomatic study rather than a practical application study.
Parenting styles vary, and include authoritarian, authoritative, permissive, and harmonious styles. All of these styles are relatively common, varying depending on culture and individual differences. Television shows reveal different parenting styles. For example, on the sitcom Modern Family, different parenting styles are evident. Gloria is occasionally authoritarian in her approach, but otherwise the parenting style evident in all the three different family units is harmonious. Harmonious parenting styles are superior
Parenting Styles Parents play a big role in their children upbringing. The way a child is brought up normally has a direct impact on his/her behavior in the adult life. Most behaviors are impacted in a child during the tender years because he/she will be looking up to the parent for guidance and role-modeling. At a tender age, a normal child is expected to learn new things, and that's when a
Parenting Styles The Effects of Parenting Styles on Students Achievement in Special Education Parents develop parenting styles that largely determine the type of parent-child relationship and the levels of development of children in various skills and competencies. Within this discipline, the family context is conceived as a system that includes ways of mutual influence, direct and indirect, between its members. Parenting styles and family interaction patterns influence virtually in all spheres of

Parent Interview This interview is conducted with the mother of a five-year-old patient who is suffering from Autism. Due to privacy reasons, the name of the patient has been completely changed. When your child's disability was initially suspected? Please discuss who brought it to parents attention. If it was the parent who first suspected it, what was the cause for the suspicion? The child's disability was initially noted when Jessica was three years
Parent Education Program Children and young adults have a strong connection with their environment. The concept of parenting determines the outcome of a child's growth and development. Parenting education is, therefore necessary in strengthening families through provision of signs, efficient education and support and ensuring maximum environment for stronger growth and development of parents/nurses and children. Caregivers link effective parental educational programs with reduced rates of child mistreatment and abandon, normal
