      abstract = {Teenage pregnancy constitutes both physiological, social and public health problems that resulted into postpartum mood disorder. Research reveals that adult pregnancy is associated with postpartum depression. Intimate partner violence, poor problem-solving orientation predicts depression. Lack of self-esteem and poor social support predict postpartum depression across mixed studies. Study which combined all these factors together at the same time has not been extended among adolescent mothers in Nigeria. This cross-sectional study examined the relationship of these factors and postpartum depression among adolescent mothers. Using systematic random sampling, 75 (majority 14-19 years) teenage mothers from six weeks after childbirth were screened and used for this study. Participants from Gashua and Nguru local government areas completed a self-report questionnaire containing measures of postpartum depression, problem solving orientations, intimate partner violence, self-esteem, and social support. Regression analysis shows significant negative relationship between positive problem orientation, self-esteem, social support and postpartum depression. Positive significant relationship was found between negative problem orientation, intimate partner violence and postpartum depression. The result has implication to the policy maker in the federal and state ministry of health and educational health institutions, professionals across educational and clinical settings.},
