  "abstract": "Background: Maternal psychological resilience is a key protective factor influencing women’s ability to adapt to stress and maintain emotional well-being during pregnancy. Paternal resilience may also be relevant, as partners’ characteristics affect each other’s well-being through emotional support, interaction, and shared stress regulation. Although prior research has focused on depression and anxiety, associations with subjective well-being remain underexplored. This study examines associations between parental resilience and maternal emotional well-being, including life satisfaction, eudaimonia, and positive and negative affect, in a longitudinal cohort in Taiwan.\n\nMethods: Data from 2019–2026 of the Longitudinal Examination Across Prenatal and Postpartum Health study in Taiwan (LEAPP-HIT), conducted in Taipei, were used. Self-reported parental psychological resilience and maternal subjective well-being, together with other covariates, were assessed across pregnancy using validated scales. Multiple regression models were applied.\n\nResults: Among 583 pairs analyzed, higher maternal psychological resilience was independently associated with higher life satisfaction (β: 0.14-0.16, all p<.05), higher eudaimonia (β: 0.27-0.31, all p<.05), higher positive affect (β: 0.09-0.10, all p<.05), and lower negative affect (β: -0.05- -0.03, all p<.05) across all trimesters. Paternal resilience was further positively associated with maternal life satisfaction (β: 0.04–0.05, all p<.05) and eudaimonic well-being (β: 0.03–0.05, all p<.05).\n\nConclusions: Maternal psychological resilience was associated with greater prenatal well-being, including higher life satisfaction, eudaimonia, and positive affect. Paternal resilience may also be positively associated with maternal well-being, based upon the actor-partner interdependence model. Findings highlight resilience as a modifiable target for promoting maternal mental health during pregnancy.\n\nKey messages: • Both maternal and parental psychological resilience are associated with higher maternal subjective well-being.\n\n• Strengthening resilience represents an important target for prenatal public health strategies to promote holistic maternal well-being and support a healthier early-life environment for families.",
