Abstract
This study explores effective ways to improve the happiness of the primary caregiver of disabled children based on the comprehensively identification of their influencing factors. Based on the results of a comprehensive review of the relationship between the influencing factors, this study seeks to explore directions and policy alternatives that are effective in improving the happiness of the primary caregiver of disabled children. The effects of social support, parenting stress, family strength, and happiness were examined in this study using data collected from 430 primary caregivers of disabled children in three regions of Jeollabuk-do. The main findings of the analysis are as follows: First, it was discovered that social support has a direct effect on the happiness of the primary caregiver of disabled children, as well as an indirect effect via family strength. Second, the primary caregivers of disabled children's family strength was discovered to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between social support and happiness. Convergence suggestions were presented based on the research findings to promote social support, family strength, and feelings of happiness for primary caregivers of children with disabilities.
