The research type was explanatory with a cross-sectional design. The sample was tubectomy contraceptive acceptors of 95 people. Data analysis was performed using a Chi-square test to determine the relationship between variables. The results showed there was no relationship between maternal education (p=0.512), husband's education (p=0.802), maternal job (p=0.522), parity (p=0.533), knowledge (p=0.484), and support from their husband (p=0.622) with tubectomy less than 40 years of age. The reasons for tubectomy that are most often cited are related to health factors and family factors/number of children. Almost all respondents (98%) stated that they were satisfied after having a tubectomy seen from several factors including the reasons underlying the desire for tubectomy, the amount of support, the attitude, and role of the husband, support from the family, community, and role models, and easy access to costs and places to get tubectomy health services.
