Abstract
Introduction: Complications of surgery may lead the patient to experience ill and even death. One of the complications in the patient after surgery with spinal anesthesia is the incidence of hypothermia. Hypothermia can occur as a result of a combination of anesthesia and surgery that causes disturbance in body temperature regulation that can make decreasing body temperature. Method: This research uses a descriptive correlational method with a retrospective approach, with total sampling technique amount of 106 respondents, using a checklist sheet research instrument.Data analysis techniques spearman rank. Results: The characteristics of surgery patients with spinal anesthesia in the operating room of Yogyakarta "JIH" Hospital were mostly female, 87.9%, most of whom were adults 74.1%, the highest frequency of surgery with spinal anesthesia duration >2 hours 55.7% and had an incidence of hypothermia 54.7%. Correlational statistical analysis obtained a Cramer's value of 0.371, a correlation coefficient value of 0.348 with a probability value (p-value) of 0.000. Conclusion: There is a relationship between spinal anesthesia and hypothermia incidence among postoperative patients in the operating recovery room "JIH" Hospital Yogyakarta. The direction of the correlation is positive and closeness is sufficient.

Summary
One of the complications in the patient after surgery with spinal anesthesia is the incidence of hypothermia. Results: The characteristics of surgery patients with spinal anesthesia in the operating room of Yogyakarta "JIH" Hospital were mostly female, 87.9%, most of whom were adults 74.1%, the highest frequency of surgery with spinal anesthesia duration >2 hours 55.7% and had an incidence of hypothermia 54.7%. Conclusion: There is a relationship between spinal anesthesia and hypothermia incidence among postoperative patients in the operating recovery room "JIH" Hospital Yogyakarta. Based on data obtained from the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of patients undergoing surgery has increased significantly from year to year. The high rate of complications and mortality is a global health concern, assuming a 3% complication rate and a 0.55% mortality rate, nearly seven million patients experience major complications including one million people who die during or after surgery and anesthesia each year (Weiser et al, 2008). The mortality rate per 10,000 anesthesia at Dr Sardjito Hospital for perioperative (9.44) is lower than the average developed country (17.68) while anesthesia-related mortality (5) is higher than the average developed country (2.813) (Pujiono, et al, 2013)
