  • Abstract:
  • This study examined the relationship between psychological well-being and life satisfaction among parents of children in special schools. A sample of 100 parents (51 men, 49 women) completed Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale. Independent samples t-tests revealed no significant gender differences in psychological well-being, but women reported significantly higher life satisfaction than men. Correlation analyses showed strong positive relationships between all dimensions of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. The findings suggest that interventions targeting specific aspects of psychological well-being may enhance overall life satisfaction among parents of children with special needs. The study contributes to a more nuanced understanding of parental well-being in the context of special education and provides insights for developing targeted support programs.
