Dukungan sosial yang dipersepsikan ibu dan paritas merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat menyebabkan depresi pasca persalinan pada perempuan pasca melahirkan. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi hubungan antara dukungan sosial yang dipersepsikan oleh ibu dengan risiko depresi pasca persalinan khususnya pada ibu primipara di provinsi DKI Jakarta. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan metode consecutive sampling untuk mengambil 111 sampel ibu primipara. Kuesioner yang digunakan terdiri dari karakteristik responden dan versi bahasa Indonesia dari Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) serta Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).
