Abstract
Background: Hypothermia is a decrease in body core temperature <36oC due to disruption of the body's thermoregulatory mechanisms during and in postoperative patients in a central surgical facility. This is influenced by several factors, such as postoperative body temperature, length of operation time, age, gender, and nutritional status of the patient. Purpose: : To determine the factors related to the incidence of hypothermia after spinal anesthesia at the Central Surgical Installation
of H. Badaruddin Kasim Tanjung Tabalong Hospital. Methods: This study is a quantitative study correlative with a cross sectional design. The population and sample of the study amounted to 350 respondents who were taken using the total
sampling technique. The research instrument is in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis was carried out bivariately using the chi-square test with a significance level of p=0.05. Results: : The results showed that there was a
significant relationship between postoperative temperature (p=0.000), nutritional status (p=0.000), age (p=0.006), and sex (p=0.000) and the incidence of hypothermia after spinal anesthesia. Meanwhile, the length of operation time
(p=0.342) stated that there was no relationship. Conclusion: Postoperative temperature, nutritional status, age, and gender are factors related to the incidence of hypothermia after spinal anesthesia at the Central Surgical Installation of H. Badaruddin Kasim Tanjung Tabalong Hospital. Efforts are needed to improve the prevention of hypothermia through monitoring body temperature and optimal patient management before and after spinal anesthesia.
