Bring back the tubal: An intervention to provide postpartum tubal ligation in the underserved population.
2020
We aimed to improve educational awareness of postpartum bilateral tubal ligation (PPBTL), which we defined as a 15% improvement between pre-/post-intervention questionnaire scores. We followed patients desiring and undergoing PPBTL and reason for unfulfilled procedures from 2017-2018. OB/GYN, Nursing, and Anesthesia participated in educational sessions with pre-/post-intervention questionnaires. Comparing the first and latter six months after study initiation, PPBTLs performed increased from 39% to 54%. Fifty-two staff participated in the interventions, with a 21% improvement in scores (OB/GYN p = 0.0117, Nursing p = 0.0001, Anesthesia p = 0.0002). We conclude multidisciplinary interventions improved educational awareness, an integral part to increasing PPBTL performance in the underserved.
