As to filling up of the questionaire. special care was paid to let each subject fill the paper by herself before collecting the paper. As a method of the ananlysis of questionaire, the percentage and frequency by SPSS PC+ was used for the general characteristics of the subject.

Of all the life-events, the most great numbers of housewives experienced the financial problems, then followed in the order of family problems, health, jobs, and personal losses. As to the level of life-enents, it showed that it has some connection with the form and the numbers of the family.

the middle-aged housewives showed 18.69 and also showed that the existence(or nonexistence) of their spouses effected on the level of anger.

In regard to the results above mentioned. this study defined the necessity of development of the programs for the promotion of middle-aged housewives´ mental health by examining the relationship between life-events they had experienced and their mental health. With this study for a basis, we propose that first, for each separate family a periodic comparative study is needed for the housewives´ life-events, and the state of the mental health. Second, we need to develop and applicate the programs that can promote the mental health of the middle-aged housewives, so that we may study the examinations of its effects.
