Methods : This study, conducted in Depok, Indonesia, aimed to assess postpartum depression knowledge among women with single deliveries, postpartum days 10-3 months, and normal babies, using the PoDLiS test and Beck Depression Inventory II. Results : The Pearson correlation coefficient was utilized to examine the relationship between postpartum literacy and postpartum depression in women. This study included about 310 women. The average age was 31.56 years (with a standard deviation of 5.37 years). Postpartum literacy was found to be linked with postpartum depression (r=0.453, p0.05). Conclusions : Postpartum depression was linked to postpartum literacy.
