Desain penelitian ini adalah cross-sectional dengan sampel 115 ibu pascamelahirkan. Alat ukur yang digunakan adalah kuesioner Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress Scale (PREPS) dan Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara stres pandemi COVID-19 dengan kejadian depresi postpartum (p = 0,000). Perawat diharapkan menyoroti kebutuhan mendesak untuk menilai kesehatan mental ibu untuk mencegah depresi postpartum pada ibu yang melahirkan selama pandemi COVID-19.
