<![CDATA[Background: Baby blues syndrome is one of the most common psychological conditions experienced by women during the postpartum period, resulting from biological, psychological, and social changes following childbirth. Husband support is an important protective factor that may help mothers adapt to their new parental roles and reduce the risk of postpartum emotional disturbances. This support may include emotional, instrumental, informational, and appraisal support. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband support and the occurrence of baby blues syndrome among postpartum mothers. Methods: This study used a quantitative observational analytic approach with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted from January to March 2026 at a maternal health service facility. A total of 60 postpartum mothers were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing respondent characteristics, husband support, and baby blues syndrome. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test with a 95% significance level. Results: Most respondents received good husband support (63.3%), while 30.0% experienced baby blues syndrome. The Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between husband support and baby blues syndrome (p = 0.002). Mothers receiving good husband support were less likely to experience baby blues syndrome. Conclusion: Husband support is significantly associated with baby blues syndrome among postpartum mothers. Strengthening husband involvement may support maternal mental health during the postpartum period.]]>
