Introduction: Abortive and deprived children are deprived of adequate parental support as well as family benefits. Care, empathic understanding and participation, transparent power structure, and problem-solving are essential family functions. One of the most important ways to solve conflicts is problem-solving skills. This study aimed to determine the Effect of Story-writing on the problem-solving abilities of 8-12-year-old children living in Permanent Residential Centers. Methods: This study is an experimental pre-post-test with two groups of intervention and control groups. This Experimental study conducted Single-blind study and parallel groups with a sample size of 22 individuals in each group in Permanent Residential Centers. In the test group, children undergo independent variable Story-writing for 45 minutes in one session twice a week for eight times. The Control group did not receive any intervention and received the usual care of the centers. The instrument used in this study was Cassidy and Long questionnaire. Results: The problem-solving skills did not differ significantly between the two groups before and after the intervention (P = 0. 14), but this test showed a significant difference between the two groups after intervention (P < 0. 001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that cognitive-behavioral interventions such as storytelling could be useful for children with special conditions and lead to growth and cognitive development. Interventions such as story writing, storytelling, and narrative therapy can put children in situations and use their imagination to enhance their skills, such as problem-solving skills.
