Abstract

Background: Postpartum women have a number of difficulties in the early postpartum phase if they are not given social assistance. Programs for postpartum education are necessary to support postpartum women's mental health.

Aims: This systematic review is to review the association of husband supports and the cases of postpartum blues in postpartum women.

Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2014 and 2024 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed, ScienceDirect and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.

Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 350 articles, whereas the results of our search on SAGEPUB brought up 4759 articles, our search on SCIENCE DIRECT brought up 7069 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2014 yielded a total 16 articles for PubMed, 1354 articles for SAGEPUB and 2516 articles for SCIENCE DIRECT. In the end, we compiled a total of 6 papers, 2 of which came from PubMed, 1 of which came from SAGEPUB and 3 of which came from SCIENCE DIRECT. We included six research that met the criteria.

Conclusion: In summary, there is association of husband supports and the cases of postpartum blues in postpartum women. Husband involvement in prenatal care seems to be able to reduce the incidence of postpartum blues but may possibly increase the couples’ intimacy. Therefore, it can be suggested that midwives consider husband involvement in prenatal care.
