Abstract

Mental health among parents is a critical issue that influences family dynamics, child development, and overall societal well-being. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework that identifies and examines the key factors affecting mental health among parents in Malaysia. The framework considers psychological, social, economic, and cultural influences that contribute to parental mental well-being. Key factors explored include financial stress, work-life balance, parenting responsibilities, social support, healthcare accessibility, and cultural expectations. By integrating theoretical perspectives and empirical findings, this study provides a structured approach to understanding the challenges Malaysian parents face in maintaining mental health. The proposed framework serves as a foundation for future research, policy formulation, and the development of targeted interventions to support parents’ mental well-being in Malaysia.
