According to Buffer Effect Model, social support is considered a coping strategy in the presence of a stressful situation. This study investigates the link between pregnant women's psychological well-being, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and partner support, by using buffer effect model. There were 256 Turkish pregnant women in the sample. The Personal Information Form, Partner Support Scale (PSS), Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EDSD), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Scale (CERS), Beck Anxiety Scale (BAI), and Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) used by study participants to collect sociodemographic and pregnancy-related data. Correlation analysis, t-test, anova and bootstrap methods were used. Pregnant women who are at risk of depression, according to the data, score higher on anxiety but lower on psychological well-being and spousal support (p <.05). Women with significant anxiety score higher on depression and have worse psychological well-being and spousal support ratings than women without anxiety (p <.05). Planning refocus and positive reappraisal strategies provide a significant mediating role in the relationship between psychological well-being and marital support. Significant impacts were reported when spousal support became a coping mechanism for pregnant women in several elements of their psychological well-being. The results acquired might aid in the creation of therapeutic and preventative intervention programs in the field of mental health.
