Subjects for this study were 974 people who participated in the fifth survey in 2014 and the sixth survey in 2016, and married women were included in the depression group in the fifth survey. The data was analyzed with χ2 test, t-test, and logistic multiple regression analysis using the SPSS 23.0 program. RESULTS: The decreased-depression group's depression decreased from 11.78 points in the fifth survey to 6.31 points in the sixth survey.
