Purpose: This study aimed to identify research trends and characteristics of studies examining the impact of extreme climate events on postpartum depression through a scoping review. Methods: Following the Arksey and O’Malley framework, a scoping review was conducted. A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed, CINAHL, Google Scholar, and RISS. Two reviewers independently screened and selected studies based on predefined criteria. Thirteen articles published between 2009 and 2025 were included in the final analysis. Results: None of the included studies were conducted in Korea, and none were found to have been published in nursing journals. Hurricanes, floods, and heatwaves were the most studied climate events, and their association with increased postpartum depression risk was consistently reported. However, one article found no statistically significant association between flooding and postpartum depression. Conclusion: Considering the increasing frequency of heatwaves, typhoons, and heavy rainfall in Korea, longitudinal and context-specific research exploring this aspect is needed. Addressing the climate crisis calls for the development of comprehensive nursing interventions, educational programs, and effective policy support systems, supported by the accumulation of nursing research that highlights postpartum mental health. Future efforts should focus on developing climate-sensitive mental health interventions and policy strategies to protect maternal mental health in the era of climate crises.
