Investigation of the relationship between marriage satisfaction, depression and anxiety levels in women

This study investigates the relationship between marital satisfaction, depression and anxiety levels in married women over the age of 18. In the literature, although studies examining the relationship between marital satisfaction and depression are mostly seen, there are not many studies examining the relationship between marital satisfaction and anxiety. When we look at the researches, it has been seen that the satisfaction that married women get from marriage reduces the risk of depression. In this study, we also planned to investigate the relationship between marital satisfaction and anxiety, and aimed to find out that marital satisfaction reduces the risk of experiencing anxiety. There are studies supporting this in the literature. In similar studies, it is seen that there is a negative relationship between marital satisfaction and depression score. There are also studies supporting that there is a negative relationship between marital satisfaction and anxiety. Participants from the provinces of Kayseri and Istanbul will be recruited to the research. In this context, marital satisfaction and depression and anxiety levels of married women living in Anatolia and the West will also be examined. Our main goal in this study is to investigate the relationship between marital satisfaction and depression and the relationship between marital satisfaction and anxiety.
