This study aimed to examine the mediating role of psychological well-being in the relationship between meaning in life, search for meaning, and emotional eating among family caregivers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data were collected from 234 participants between September and December 2023.

Age, female gender, duration of caregiving, cohabitation status, meaning in life, search for meaning, and psychological well-being explained 77.6% of the variance in emotional eating behaviour. Psychological well-being significantly mediated the relationship between meaning in life and emotional eating. Both presence of meaning and search for meaning reduced emotional eating indirectly through enhanced psychological well-being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Regular assessment of caregivers\u2019 emotional state and the implementation of meaning-oriented interventions that enhance psychological well-being are recommended to support healthier coping strategies.
