This study aimed to determine the association and predictive capacities of job satisfaction, workplace stress, work motivation, and self-esteem on state of mental health of caregivers of children with disabilities in South-West Nigeria. The self-determination theory provided a theoretical framework for the study. A closed-ended paper-pencil questionnaire tagged ‘Mental Healthiness Scale for Caregivers’ was used for data collection from 241 caregivers of children with disabilities. Data collected was analyzed using descriptive of frequency count, simple percentage and mean as well as inferential statistics involving Pearson product moment correlation and Binary Logistic Regression at 95% confidence interval. Findings revealed a significant but inverse association between self-esteem, workplace stress and mental health. Work motivation had a direct association with mental health while job satisfaction had no significant association with mental health of caregivers of children with disabilities. Caregivers (18–40 years) had the highest odds for mental health concerns. Lowered self-esteem and workplace stress increased mental health concerns while job satisfaction significantly predicted a higher likelihood for positive state of mental health among caregivers of children with disabilities.
