Mothers with adequate husband support have a 0.20 times lower risk (CI 95% 0.05-0.76) of experiencing postpartum blues. There is also a relationship between midwife support and the risk of postpartum blues, with a p-value of 0.01, which indicates a significant relationship. Mothers with adequate midwife support had a 0.09 times lower risk (CI 95% 0.04-0.23) of experiencing postpartum blues. Multivariate testing showed that the most dominant factor was husband support, with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 0.20. Conclusions: Postpartum blues prevention relies on husband and midwife support, antenatal care counseling, postpartum blues screening, and follow-up visits.
