The aim of the study is to explore the relationship between marital satisfaction, emotion regulation, and self-efficacy in women experiencing Postpartum Depression. The sample size consisted of N=100 participants which were women with PPD symptoms who visited the OPD of gynecology ward of government hospitals. The selected population age average was 19 to 35 years. Urdu translated scales of Comprehensive Marital Satisfaction Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and General Self-Efficacy Scale were used for data collection. The information was analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation, Moderation Analysis and Multiple Regression via SPSS 21 version. The conclusion of this research has been demonstrated that there is weak positive correlation between Marital Satisfaction and severity of PPD in women. This study suggests that as Marital Satisfaction increases, the impact of PPD symptoms decreases. It also showed that Self-Efficacy has a strong and significant effect on PPD symptoms as a moderator.
