Abstract

Objective: The literature on Maternal Subjective Well-being (MSW) has grown rapidly over the past two decades. MSW is a multidimensional construct encompassing subjective evaluations of mothers’ lives, including overall life satisfaction, happiness, and emotional well-being.  Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify English-language articles published between 2013 and 2023 using the keywords mother, subjective well-being, and special needs children, yielding 2,200 records, of which 8 met the inclusion criteria and were subsequently analyzed using the PRISMA framework and thematic synthesis approach.  Results: The review identified eight eligible studies and found that maternal subjective well-being is influenced by both internal factors (self-efficacy, hope, positive perceptions, and resilience) and external factors (social support, family functioning, and partner relationships). The findings highlight that strengthening psychological resources and social support systems may play a key role in improving the well-being of mothers caring for children with special needs. Novelty: The review highlights resilience as a key protective factor that can mitigate the negative effects of parenting stress on maternal subjective well-being and quality of life among mothers of children with disabilities. A notable research gap is the limited understanding of how protective factors, particularly resilience and benefit finding, can be developed and activated to support positive maternal adaptation to caregiving demands.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of self-acceptance and gratitude in mediating the influence of social support on subjective well-being. The research sample consisted of 102 mothers of children with special needs aged 1–12 years, selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used included the SWLS (Satisfaction with Life Scale) and PANAS (Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule) to measure subjective well-being; GQ-6 (Gratitude Questionnaire) to assess gratitude; MSPSS (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) to assess social support; and PPAS (Porter Parent Acceptance Scale) to assess self-acceptance. Data were analyzed using path analysis mediation with JASP version 18.3. Scientifically, this research contributes to expanding psychological understanding of internal and external factors that influence parental subjective well-being through positive emotional mechanisms. The findings show that self-acceptance and gratitude significantly mediate the effect of social support on subjective well-being, with a total contribution of 97.4%. Keywords: gratitude, social support, subjective well-being, self-acceptance
