The instruments used were family support questionnaires, EPDS and medical records. Analysis using the Mann-Whitney Test with a significance level of Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) <0.05. Results: The results showed that out of 73 respondents, a small portion (20.55%) with low levels of family support had a high incidence of postpartum depression, while respondents with CS delivery almost half (35.71%) experienced high depressionThe Spearman Rho test showed a significant correlation between family support and postpartum depression (p = 0.000), while the Mann-Whitney test indicated a significant association between type of delivery and postpartum depression (p = 0.001).
