Introduction: One of the challenges for adolescent boys in substitute and unsupervised care is stress and lack of problem-solving skills. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral strategy-based training on perceived stress and problem-solving performance in boys in substitute and unsupervised care in Dezful city.
Methods: The statistical population was all the homeless boys of the city of Dezful. The sample of the research was 30 unsupervised and abusive adolescent boys in the welfare centers of Dezful city, who were selected as available and randomly assigned to two groups of 15 people, test and control. The research method was a clinical trial of pre-test and post-test type with a control group. Perceived stress questionnaire (Cohen, 1983) and problem solving performance questionnaire (Hepner and Kraskov, 1987) were used to collect data. For the experimental group, ten intervention sessions were conducted based on cognitive behavioral therapy. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation and analysis of covariance in SPSS version 25 software.
Results: The results of the analysis of covariance indicate that training for cognitive behavioral strategies has a significant effect on the perceived reduction (F=92.1, η²=0.78) and improvement in problem-solving performance (F=93.26, η²=0.78) of Abused and Neglected Male Adolescents p<0.001).
Conclusion: Given that training based on cognitive behavioral strategies is effective in improving perceived stress, problem-solving performance, and refocusing on planning in orphaned and maltreated boys, this method should be considered by therapists and psychology specialists as an effective method.
