The study in this research is to use qualitative research
methods. The selection of qualitative methods is based
on exploring in depth the data to be obtained, so it is
hoped that this research will produce a comprehensive
and holistic study. Qualitative research is a multiple
methods that involves an interpretive and reasonable
approach to each subject matter. Qualitative research
works in a natural setting, which seeks to understand,
giving an interpretation to phenomena seen from the
meanings that people give to them. This study uses a
phenomenological approach that tries to understand the
meaning of events and human interactions in
certain situations by understanding the views of
respondents in research. The phenomenological
approach will explain the phenomenon of human
behavior experienced in awareness, cognitive, and
perceptual actions. Researchers in the phenomenological
view try to understand the meaning of events and their
relation to people in certain situations. Researchers try
to enter the conceptual world of the research
respondents in such a way that they understand what
and how an understanding is developed by them around
events in their daily lives. In this study, to obtain a form
of research credibility, researchers used the triangulation
method. Triangulation is a data validity checking
technique that utilizes something other than the data to
check oras a comparison of the data. In qualitative
research, the data will be more trusted if two or more
sources state the same thing.

each other. When become a volunteer you have to
prepare your mental health, physical health, and also

overwhelmingly surpassed the toll of the 2002-2003 SARS outbreakwhich also originated in China. SARS killed about 9 percent of those it
infected - nearly 800 people worldwide and more than 300 in China alone. MERS, which did not spread as widely, was more deadly, killing
one-third of those infected. While the new coronavirus is more widespread than SARS in terms of case numbers, the mortality rate remains
considerably lower at approximately 3.4 percent,according to the WHO. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), older people are at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 which may result in increased stress during a crisis. People who
have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes also seem to be at high risk for developing more serious
complications from COVID-19 illness.
