The postpartum period is a vulnerable phase that may trigger mood disorders such as postpartum blues. Social support plays a vital role in maintaining maternal mental health. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design to examine the relationship between social support and postpartum blues symptoms. Conducted in the working area of Sukorame Public Health Center, Kediri, in April May 2025, it involved 38 postpartum mothers selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using sociodemographic questionnaires and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. Most respondents received good social support (66%) and were not at risk of postpartum blues (68%). A significant negative correlation was found between social support and postpartum blues symptoms (ρ = 0.000; r = -0.718), indicating that higher social support is associated with lower risk of postpartum blues. However, this study has several limitations.
