Background and AimImproving life skills through training, particularly by employing the reading of Masnavi's stories, can contribute to enhancing individuals' quality of life. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Masnavi's metaphors in improving life skills.MethodThe research utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test and a control group. The statistical population consisted of clients aged 20-50 at R & amacr;yin Psychological Clinic in the year (2024-2025). Using convenience sampling, 21 participants were selected. Twelve stories were chosen from the Masnavi, and the embedded life skills within them were identified. Six sessions were conducted, with one story-reading session held every two weeks. The research instrument was the Life Skills Questionnaire developed by Saatchi and colleagues (2009).ConclusionThe findings of this study indicated that Masnavi-based instruction had a significant effect on improving all components of life skills, including individual skills (self-awareness, goal orientation, decision-making), social skills (effective communication, interpersonal relationships, participation), and cognitive skills (problem-solving, creative and critical thinking).
