Abstract

Postpartum depression (PPD) poses a significant mental health challenge for new mothers, affecting their well-being and family dynamics. Employing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were conducted among a diverse sample of married or partnered couples within the postpartum period. Findings revealed a robust inverse correlation between comprehensive spousal support encompassing emotional understanding, practical assistance, and validation of experiences and the propensity of wives to experience postpartum depression. The study sheds light on the transformative potential of supportive spousal relationships in mitigating postpartum depression and underscores the need for tailored interventions, inclusive healthcare practices, and family-centered approaches to enhance maternal mental well-being during this critical phase.
