Pengalaman Interaksi Sosial Penyintas Covid19 dengan Masyarakat Sekitar Tempat Tinggal (Studi Kasus Penyintas di Desa Bandar Khalipah Kec. Percut Seituan)

Abstract

Pandemic Covid-19 is a virus that is deadly and troubling for every community that can be easily transmitted to others. This virus that attacks the respiratory system makes anyone who is exposed to it feel worried. The reason for this concern is due to the fact that an effective drug has not yet been found to fight the Covid-19 virus. In fact, many of the survivors of Covid-19 changed their behavior based on their experiences when exposed to Covid-19. This study aims to find out the motives of Covid-19 survivors, the meaning of Covid-19 and the social interaction experiences of Covid-19 survivors when they have been declared cured. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Researchers used a purposive sampling technique in this study so that the subjects or informants in this study totaled 10 people based on the criteria that the researchers had determined at the beginning. Data collection in this study was carried out by interviewing informants, field observations, and literature study. The results showed that the pattern of social interaction of the Covid-19 survivors in Bandar Khalipah Village and the people around their residence was at moderate intensity because there were still more people who did not believe in the existence of the Covid-19 virus. 19 consists of motives which include family motives and motives or hope motives when recovered which include a healthy lifestyle, becoming a better person, and volunteering for Covid-19. The findings from the meaning of Covid-19 found in survivors of Covid-19 mean that Covid-19 is an ordinary but terrible flu disease that is currently circulating in society. The experience of social interaction found is a pleasant and unpleasant experience. Enjoyable experiences include improving the quality of worship for Covid-19 survivors when exposed to Covid-19. Covid-19 survivors have had an unpleasant experience of being overwhelmed by fear and worry about not being able to return to health and be reunited with their families.
