Methods：Totally 54 cases of empty-nesters were employed to do cluster based care. GDS was used before and after the inter－vention. Results：The empty-nesters depression detection rate was 22.22% before the intervention and was 7.41% after the intervention（P=0.021）. There were significant differences in GDS scores before and after intervention（P=0.000）. High and medium sections of the GDS scores significantly decreased after the intervention（P=0.000），while low section of GDS scores had no significant difference before and after the intervention（P=0.061）.
