TUBECTOMY TRENDS IN MATERNITY MOTHERS WITH CESAREAN SECTION AT UDAYANA II HOSPITAL DENPASAR

Abstract

Tubectomy is one of the permanent contraceptive methods that plays an important role in supporting family planning and reproductive health programs. However, its use is relatively lower than other long-term contraceptive methods. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trend of tubectomy incidence in hospitals. This study uses a quantitative descriptive design with a retrospective approach. Data was taken from the medical records of patients who underwent tubectomy at Udayana II Hospital Denpasar for the 2021–2025 period. The study sample included maternity mothers with cesarean section with inclusion criteria being a tubectomy and complete medical records. The variables analyzed included the number of cases per year, demographic characteristics of patients such as age, education level, occupation, place of residence and length of treatment. Tubectomy data and patient characteristics were measured based on the information stated in the patient's medical record. The analysis was carried out descriptively using the distribution of frequency and annual trends. The incidence of tubectomy in maternity mothers with cesarean section at Udayana II Hospital Denpasar showed a relatively stable trend throughout the study period. The majority of tubectomy procedures are performed on mothers with characteristics of age over 35 years old, have a secondary education, have a job, are Hindu, live in Denpasar City, have non-militery status, and undergo treatment for about three days. These findings make an important contribution to efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of tubectomy services in maternal mothers. Therefore, the results of the study recommend the need to strengthen the quality of services by considering sociodemographic factors, as well as ensuring the availability of access to tubectomy procedures as part of reproductive health services.
