Abstrakt: Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the effect of training parents through films, posters/graphics, and verbal explanations on increasing their satisfaction with lumbar puncture performance. Methods: This cross-sectional quasi-experimental study was conducted on children with febrile seizures referred to the Emergency and Pediatric Wards of hospitals affiliated with Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. They were LP candidates; however, their parents did not consent to this procedure. The children were randomly assigned to three groups. In the first group, videos of the location and method of LP were presented to the parents. The second group received this information via posters, and the parents in the third group were given verbal explanations. Results: The children included 49 (4.54%) females with a mean age of 15 months. There was a significant relationship between the reason for parental refusal of LP and their final satisfaction (P=0.022). There was a significant relationship between parents' satisfaction with LP and their education (P=0.029). The film method had the lowest chance of success, while the verbal explanation method had the most remarkable success in enhancing parental satisfaction (P= 0.013). Conclusion: Although posters and videos were less effective than verbal explanations, they increased satisfaction with LP in some parents. It is more beneficial to try to alter parental misperceptions of LP in non-emergency situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
