| Research Abstract |
Happiness in families of professionals involved in care work, as well as changes over time and related factors concerning subjective well-being, such as the feeling of satisfaction with life were examined through interviews, questionnaires, participant observation at the peer support conferences, and practical studies of support. The results indicated that the conditions of changes in well-being over the long time course were different between the families and care workers. A questionnaire survey conducted with care workers indicated that among the various psychological variables that were investigated, the mental recuperative power, or resilience, most strongly affected the subjective feeling of happiness.
