This study focuses on enhancing the subjective well-being of residential care workers at a children’s home by enhancing their sense of self-usefulness and self-acceptance. A prototype of a one-on-one meeting program was developed and its effectiveness was examined. The program consists of two components: an introductory interview that encourages reflection on work experiences and a one-on-one session using photographs of children to enhance self-usefulness and self-acceptance. The program was implemented with eight residential care workers at a children’s home, and both quantitative assessments using psychological scales and qualitative evaluations through semi-structured interviews were conducted. The findings suggest that the program demonstrated preliminary effectiveness in enhancing sense of self-usefulness, self-acceptance, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being.
