| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The current study investigated the impact of an individual nurse-led active listening intervention for spouses of patients with depression on spouses’ psychological states and patients’ depressive symptoms. Sixteen couples participated in the study.
Psychological measurement scale scores did not change markedly postintervention for spouses; however, their subjective evaluations of the intervention were positive. Spouses stated that they were able to express their thoughts and feelings and that the sessions were meaningful. Moreover, postintervention depressive scores of patients improved significantly. Findings suggest that the nurse-led intervention of active listening for spouses may provide a better environment for improving the depressive symptoms of patients.
