## Abstract

The importance of structured support for primiparous mothers during the postpartum period is critical for improving their physical,
emotional, and psychological well-being. Nurse-led interventions focusing on nutrition, newborn care and infection prevention significantly
reduce postpartum depression and improve well-being and parental competence. The experimental group demonstrated notable improvements,
including reduced depression scores and enhanced well-being and competence. Sociodemographic factors also played a role in influencing
these outcomes, highlighting the need for tailored interventions. Thus, we show that nurse-led programs are an effective and scalable
approach to improving maternal health and addressing postpartum challenges.
