Background: Psychological preparation for children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging can be achieved through applying different calming techniques that help anxious children to cope with the threatening situation and increased image quality. Aim of study: Was to evaluate effectiveness of calming techniques on children's outcomes regarding magnetic resonance imaging and mothers' satisfaction level. Design: A quasi-experimental design was utilized to conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted at magnetic resonance imaging unit at Benha University Hospital. Subjects: Purposive sample of 159 children accompanied with their mothers were selected and divided equally into three groups (control group, study group1 and study group 2). Results: There is a significant decrease in level of anxiety and fear among children in study group1 compared with those in control group and study group2 30 minute after intervention and 1hr after performing magnetic resonance imaging. Also, there is improvement in level of knowledge and level of anxiety among mothers in study group 1 compared with those in control group and study group2 with increased level of satisfaction in study group1 1hr after applying magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion: Applying calming techniques for children undergoing magnetic resonance imaging has positive effect in lowering children's anxiety, fear, mother's anxiety and increase mother's satisfaction level among study group1. Recommendations: Conducting continuous periodical education for nurses in MRI setting about the different methods of calming techniques that can be used for children before and during magnetic resonance imaging.
