The program was supervised by dr. Nanang Wiyono, M.Kes., and was implemented on Monday (16/08/2021) for two hours, and it has been prepared since Monday (2/8/2021). Fadhila stated that the program is relatively easy to implement because they had a preliminary survey before the implementation. Thus, when they reached the place, they could find the street vendors directly and educate them about Covid-19.
“The education media is a poster to prevent stress that we have prepared before. As a token of appreciation for listening to the education program, we gave one package of safe from Covid-19 kit and the education poster that they could re-read again,” Fadhila explained.
Each package of safe from Covid-19 kit distributed consists of hand sanitizer, three medical masks, biscuits, a box of milk, candies, chocolate, and ginger herbal syrup. The package is distributed to 20 street vendors around Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Surakarta and Taman Cerdas Surakarta. While the education poster on stress prevention, symptoms of stress, such as difficulty to fall asleep, low appetite, anxiety, and pounding heart. The poster also contains the steps to avoid stress, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The stress prevention efforts promoted by the group is shortened into “BAHAGIA” from Berpikir positif, Atur napas pelan dan panjang, Hidangkan makanan sehat, Aktivitas fisik teratur, gunakan waktu tidur dengan baik, Ikuti protokol kesehatan, dan Alokasi waktu bersama keluarga (Think positively, slow and deep breath, healthy food, regular physical activities, follow health protocols, and allocated time for family).
The street vendors responded positively towards this program because it improves their comprehension of the decreasing number of Covid-19 cases, and the implementation of community activities limitation (PPKM) could be ended soon, so the economy will recover.
