This study has been conducted to determine the relationship between postpartum depression (PPD) level and maternal attachment. This cross-sectional study has been conducted with 371 mothers who were hospitalized in a public hospital's maternity service between June-September 2018. The data of the study have been collected with ‘Personel Information Form’, ‘Edinburg Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS)’ and ‘Mother to Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS)’. For the statistical analysis; number, percentage; mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation analysis have been used. It has been determined that, of the mothers whose mean age was 28.0±5.7, 40.2% were primary school and below graduates, 69.3% had equal income and expense, and %11.3 were Syrian. The average total score of the EPDS is 5.61±4.51; the average total score of the MIDS is 2.49±3.65. A statistically significant relationship has been found between the EPDS and MIBS mean scores (p<0.05). In addition, it is observed that as the PPD level increases maternal attachment decreases.
