“…The Brown University Infant Behavior, Cry, and Sleep Clinic, known as the Colic Clinic, provides a family‐based, psychosocial treatment program that looks holistically at how the infant's crying affects the family related to maternal well‐being and the parent–infant relationship (Salisbury et al., ). A multidisciplinary team works closely with parents to design an individualized family treatment plan that includes, but is not limited to, strategies to help the infant regulate and ways to alleviate family stress (Twomey, High, & Lester, ). Results of the randomized trial showed that the program was effective in decreasing infant symptoms, but did not impact measures of family well‐being.…”

“…The program is designed to address parents’ urgent concerns about their infant using intervention processes that build longer‐term parenting capacities, including parental confidence and competence, strong parent–child relationships, and balanced parent views of their baby. The intervention is guided by the FAN (Facilitating Attuned Interactions; Gilkerson et al., ), an infant mental health informed approach, which embraces an empathic stance (Twomey, High, & Lester, ; Wollwerth de Chuquisengo & Papoušek, ) and parental intuitive competence (Papoušek and Papoušek, ).…”

High levels of infant crying place families at risk for disrupted relationships, parenting stress, and even for child maltreatment. We conducted an evaluation of the Fussy Baby Network ® (FBN), a program supporting families struggling with infant crying and related concerns. The study contrasted 29 families who sought help from FBN with 27 families with excessively crying infants who did not seek services. Researchers measured parenting self-efficacy, depression, and stress in each group before and after the intervention. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated greater improvements over time in parenting self-efficacy for parents receiving FBN services. Furthermore, the greater improvements in parenting self-efficacy in the intervention group were not directly attributable to reductions in infant crying. These findings provide preliminary evidence that the FBN approach may be effective at boosting the confidence of parents struggling with caring for their infants. Future research with larger samples with baseline equivalence and stronger research designs should explore this intervention further. This study also suggests that interventions for families with excessively crying infants should move beyond the focus of reducing infant crying to a broader strategy of supporting parents and strengthening relationships between parents and their infants to build parenting capacity.

Following a literature review, 20 parents whose babies previously cried excessively took part in focus groups or interviews. They provided reports on their experiences and the supports they would have liked when their baby was crying excessively. In addition, they identified their preferred delivery methods and devices for accessing information and rated four example support packages identified by the literature review.FindingsDuring the period their baby cried excessively, most parents visited a health service professional and most considered these direct contacts to have provided helpful information and support. Websites were similarly popular. Telephones and tablets were the preferred means of accessing online information. Groups to meet other parents were considered an important additional resource by all the parents. Three package elements - a Surviving Crying website, a printed version of the website and a programme of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy-based support sessions delivered to parents by a qualified practitioner, were developed for further evaluation.

Koliğin semptomlarını azaltmaya yönelik ise davranışsal tedavi, diyet tedavisi, ilaç tedavisi ve diğer yöntemler başlığı altında birçok tedavi şe-killeri bulunmaktadır. Bu bebekler akşam saatlerinde nedensiz olarak saatlerce ağlarlar ve ağlama süreleri haftada en az üç gün, günde en az üç saattir. Kolikli bebeklerin aileleri bu nedensiz ağla-malara bir çözüm yolu arar, ancak çoğunlukla ağlama nöbetlerini durduramazlar. Anne-babalar bu soruna çözüm bulamadıkları için bebeklerinden uzaklaşabilmekte ve aile sağlığı bu durumdan olumsuz etkilenebilmektedir. Bu zorlu süreçte hemşireler, ailelerin yaşadıkları sıkıntıları dinleyip, bebeğin durumu hakkında bilgi edindikten sonra danışmanlık hizmeti verebilir ve ailelere destek olabilirler.A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Hemşirelik; kolik A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T Infantile colic during the first three months after childbirth is a very common complaint.
