The objective of this study was to determine the relationships between social support and marital satisfaction with depression during pregnancy. Materials & Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 70 pregnant women who referred to private clinics of Karaj (Iran) during a period of 6 months to receive prenatal care in the last 3 months of gestation. The information of the women was collected by Beck depression inventory (BDI-II), Enrich marital satisfaction and Wax social support (SS-A) questionnaires. The data were analyzed by correlation coefficient, regression variance analysis (univariate and multivariate) using SPSS software. Findings: There were significant correlations between depression during pregnancy with social support (r= -0.368) and marital satisfaction (r=-0.316). Social support and marital satisfaction predicted 15.3% of prenatal depression’s variances. Social support was a better predictor for prenatal depression than marital satisfaction. Conclusion: There are significant correlations between depression during pregnancy with social support and marital satisfaction. Social support has a more important role in the prediction of depression during pregnancy than marital satisfaction. M3 10.29252/sjrm.1.4.153 ER -
