Parents of children with disabilities are exposed to persistent caregiving, psychological, and family-related challenges, which may place them at increased risk of psychological distress and reduced well-being. The present study aims to formulate a conceptual model of wise living focused on meaning in life and to investigate the effectiveness of an educational package based on this model on life orientation, personal flourishing, and psychological distress among parents of children with disabilities. This mixed-methods study will be conducted in three stages. In the first stage, the components of the conceptual model will be identified through semi-structured interviews with parents of children with disabilities and experts, followed by qualitative content analysis. In the second stage, an educational package will be developed based on the formulated conceptual model, and its content validity will be evaluated. In the third stage, the effectiveness of the educational package will be examined using a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control-group design. The research instruments will include the Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R), the Flourishing Scale, and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Qualitative data will be analyzed using qualitative content analysis, while quantitative data will be analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). It is expected that the educational package based on wise living focused on meaning in life will enhance life orientation and personal flourishing and reduce psychological distress among parents of children with disabilities.
