Postpartum depression among first-time mothers is a sensitive issue and few studies were conducted related to this topic in developing countries including Jordan. Thus, this study purposed to assess postpartum depression levels and associated factors among Jordanian first-time mothers. A cross-sectional design was adopted, and 193 postpartum first-time mothers living in Amman governorate were recruited. A questionnaire consisting of two parts was used to record data, sociodemographic and maternal health, and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Findings showed that 34.1% of the women experienced postpartum depression. The employment, gravida, antenatal health problems, breastfeeding problems, newborn health problems, and availability of assistance during the postpartum period significantly correlated with postpartum depression. Thus, the understanding of postpartum depression and related factors would provide important empirical evidence for healthcare professionals and policy-makers when planning to develop strategies and measures to minimize postpartum depression among first-time mothers.
