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 with other proposed techniques will be extremely necessary in order to establish a quantifiable comparison between different value propositions to solve this problem. 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….....
