Postpartum mothers need social support to promote maternal-infant bonding attachment, influencing\u00a0their child's growth and development. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has introduced changes in perceived social\u00a0support and bonding attachment due to physical distancing measures and community activities restrictions. This\u00a0study aims to determine the effect of perceived social support on the bonding attachment in mothers who gave birth\u00a0during the COVID-19 pandemic.\nMethods. This was a cross-sectional study on 118 consecutively sampled mothers who gave birth from June to July\u00a02021 in Bekasi, Indonesia. This study collected data using the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire and Multidimensional\u00a0Scale of Perceived Social Support. Stratified analysis, based on demographic factors, was done to adjust the identified\u00a0associations. We used chi-square test, lambda correlation test and Cochran's and Mantel-Haenszel\u2019s test to analyze\u00a0the data.\nResults. Most respondents perceived low social support (57.6%) and had low bonding attachment (65.3%) during\u00a0the pandemic. Nevertheless, mothers with high perceived social support tend to have 32 times higher bonding\u00a0attachment than those with low social support (OR 32.4; 95% CI 10.78, 97.35; p &lt;0.001). There was moderate\u00a0positive correlation between social support and bonding attachment (r = 0.537; p = 0.001). The association was still\u00a0found between perceived social support and bonding attachment after controlling for parity (AOR: 23.63; 95% CI\u00a07.88, 70.87) and working status (AOR: 28.90; 95% CI 9.52, 87.76).\nConclusion. Perceived social support plays a significant role on bonding attachment; thus, providing sufficient support for mothers is recommended. Health promotion, counselling and psychological assistance are needed to assist mothers in adapting during the pandemic to obtain support and achieve optimal bonding attachments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.47895\/amp.v60i12.4597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]],"date-time":"2026-07-01T03:01:39Z","timestamp":1782874899000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Analysis of Perceived Social Support on Bonding Attachment in Mothers Giving Birth during the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.47895","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Dora","family":"Samaria, SKep, Ns, MKep","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lina Ayu","family":"Marecelina, Ns, MKep, SpKepMat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lima","family":"Florensia, SKep, Ns, MKes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta, Jakarta, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27557","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"container-title":["Acta Medica Philippina"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/4597\/7193","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/download\/4597\/7193","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]],"date-time":"2026-07-01T03:01:41Z","timestamp":1782874901000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/actamedicaphilippina.upm.edu.ph\/index.php\/acta\/article\/view\/4597"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.47895\/amp.v60i12.4597","relation":{},"ISSN":["2094-9278","0001-6071"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2094-9278","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0001-6071","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]}}}
