Background and Objective: Adjustment and behavioral problems are prevalent complications among students. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of stories in the Quran in adjustment and behavioral problems among primary school students.
Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pretest-posttest and control group design. The statistical population included all female students in the third grade of primary school in Khondab, Iran. The samples were selected using the cluster convenience sampling method, and they were then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. Initially, the Adjustment Inventory for School Students and Rutter Children’s Behavior Questionnaire for Completion by Teachers were administered as a pretest. Subsequently, the experimental group participated in an 8-session program to listen to the stories of the Quran; however, the control group remained on the waiting list. After the completion of the intervention, the two groups completed the questionnaires as a posttest.
Results: The results of MANCOVA showed that the linear combination of dependent variables (adjustment and behavioral problems) were significantly different in the two groups, indicating the effectiveness of these stories in increasing the adjustment and improving the behavioral problems of students.
Conclusion: This program can be an effective treatment for promoting the health of students, thereby increasing their adjustment and decreasing their behavioral problems in the context of the country's formal education.
