The results of the hypothesis were found to be significant at the alpha level. Analysis revealed that direct support was found to be negatively connected with postpartum depression. It explicitly demonstrates that an increase in social support, especially from the husband, can decrease postpartum depression in women, and a decrease in the levels of social support was found to be a prominent factor behind postpartum depression.
