“…The pandemic situation addresses the role of healthcare professionals such as doctors, epidemiologists, virologists, immunologists, and public health professionals up to the stage (Gamalliel et al, 2021). Compared to the public officer and politicians who often give ambiguous statements and contradict scientific principles of controlling infectious diseases, healthcare professionals from the beginning have given early warnings of possible outbreaks and suggested handling measures such as restrictions on mobility and regional quarantine (Falcone et al, 2020).…”

Health workers play a vital role during the COVID-19 pandemic, not only in the health facilities but also as a reference in the media. This role arises from the health workers’ accounts on social media amplified by the mass media and public discourse. This study aims to examine the narratives of doctors’ accounts on social media, responding to the emergency period of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study maps and analyzes the narratives of the 10 (ten) doctors’ Twitter accounts in Indonesia during the Emergency Community Activity Restrictions (PPKM) period from 3 July - 23 August 2021 through qualitative content analysis methods. The spread of the Delta variant virus and a significant increase in active cases, death, and bed occupancy rates were recorded during this period. The study shows that each doctor has a different narrative, with the main issues: vaccination, health protocols, health facilities, case data, and government policies related to the pandemic. Some doctors’ narratives are also a form of public pressure on government policies. This study also notes the phenomenon of “twitting to the press” by the mass media because of social restriction.Keywords: Healthcare professional, Twitter, mobility restriction, Covid-19, Indonesia ABSTRAKTenaga kesehatan memiliki peran penting selama masa pandemi COVID-19. Tak hanya menjadi garda depan dalam memutus mata rantai penyebaran virus, namun juga menjadi rujukan informasi bagi masyarakat melalui kemunculannya di media. Peran ini muncul dari keaktifan tenaga medis di media sosial yang diamplifikasi oleh media massa dan kemudian menjadi wacana publik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat narasi para dokter di sosial media, menyikapi masa darurat pandemic Covid-19 di Indonesia. Penelitian ini memetakan dan menganalisis narasi 10 akun Twitter dokter terpopuler di Indonesia selama periode Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) Darurat dari 3 Juli - 23 Agustus 2021 melalui metode analisis isi kualitatif. Periode ini ditandai persebaran virus varian Delta dan kenaikan signifikan jumlah kasus aktif, angka kematian, dan tingkat keterisian tenpat tidur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan setiap dokter memiliki narasi yang berbeda dalam merespons kebijakan penanganan COVID-19 di media sosial, dengan isu utama meliputi vaksinasi, penerapan protokol kesehatan, fasilitas kesehatan, data kasus, serta pejabat dan kebijakan pemerintah terkait pandemi. Narasi para dokter juga menjadi bentuk tekanan publik kepada kebijakan pemerintah pemerintah. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga mencatat adanya fenomena penerapan twitting to the press oleh media massa sebagai imbas penerapan kebijakan pembatasan sosial.Kata Kunci: Tenaga kesehatan, Twitter, pembatasan mobilitas, Covid-19, Indonesia

“…The impact on the increasingly fierce competition to find work, especially for new graduates. The emergence of COVID-19 has become the epicenter of new problems in Indonesia, employment has narrowed, many companies have laid off workers, have not held recruitment, and their business has been suspended (Ayuningtyas et al, 2021;Gamalliel et al, 2021;Muhyiddin & Nugroho, 2021). Of course, in the long term, if a solution is not immediately sought, it will affect the preparation of the State of Indonesia to take advantage of the demographic bonus in 2030 and Indonesia Gold in 2045 in the future.…”

This study aims to describe the impact of learning loss on students at universities in Indonesia who are often overlooked in educational discourse during the COVID-19 pandemic. Learning loss is only considered to have an impact on students at school. Whereas learning loss is a global phenomenon, which threatens all students around the world, both in schools and universities. The research method used is descriptive research method with a case study approach. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, document analysis, literature study, and observation. Then the data was analyzed adopting interactive analysis from Miles and Huberman. The results of the study indicate that learning loss that occurs in students affects student readiness, not only in the process of achieving competence and learning objectives at university, but also students' readiness to enter the world of work. As many as 87% of students are worried about whether they can get a job after graduating during the COVID-19 period. This concern is reinforced by the phenomenon: around 88% or 9 out of 10 companies are affected by the pandemic in Indonesia. Unemployment is open as much as 3.5 million to 8.5 million people throughout 2020, while Indonesia's economic growth in 2020 is minus 2.07 %.

“…For example, telehealth visits were encouraged wherever possible, and decreased number for antenatal care visits and face-to-face maternity class to limit spread of the disease. However, with these extensive changes and challenges of service, little evidence reports these detailed situation in Indonesia, even when the country was the epicentre of COVID-19 Pandemic in July–August 2021 [ 9 ]. Previous research about maternity care in Indonesia in the early pandemic reported the overwhelming situations and frustration of the providers due to lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) and limited guidance when providing care for pregnant women [ 10 ].…”

Background Limited evidence is available as the reference for the model of care on providing maternity care in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) to cope with pandemic disruption. This study aimed to adopt international recommendations to develop the model of care with the context of Indonesian settings. Methods Four codesign workshops and substitute interviews with stakeholders, covering the (i) exploration of service provision during the pandemic, (ii) adoption of international recommendations, (iii) designing and (iv) finalising model of care for maternal health services in primary care under the COVID-19 pandemic. The study took place in Yogyakarta Province Indonesia from July-November 2021. The participants were general practitioners, midwives, nurses, patients, and obstetricians. The data were analysed thematically. Results Twenty-three participants were recruited. As many as 23, 16, 14 and 16 participants participated in the first to fourth codesign workshops or substitute interviews. Key recommendations agreed upon in the workshop were health screening, maintaining antenatal-postnatal breastfeeding care, limiting visitors, using telemedicine, and creating a multidisciplinary team to provide the care. A model of care for improving maternal service was also agreed and received suggestions from the participants. Identified barriers to the recommendation implementation, such as the available clinical resources and negotiating providers’ authority in practice. Conclusion Recommendations and the model of care for improving maternity care in Indonesia are beneficial to be implemented in Indonesian primary care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further research includes pilot studies to explore the acceptability of the model and recommendation implementation in practice.
