Depression is c o m m o n among disadvantaged, rural women. Few of these women are treated because of a c c e s s barriers or because treatment does not meet their needs. A treatment program for major depressive disorder (MDD) was designed based on biopsychosocial perspectives of the cause of MDD and practice roles of psychiatric nurses.

The NPP and its theoretical basis are described.
