Jurnal Aisyah : Jurnal Ilmu Kesehatan
Virus-19 is a worldwide pandemic disease that causes crises, particularly in the field of health. The government implemented a policy of home isolation for patients who do not have comorbid conditions in order to reduce the impact on patients' self-isolation. This research aims to delve deeply into the experiences of covid-19 patients during self-isolation at home. This qualitative study employs a phenomenological design to investigate life events or patient experiences during selfisolation at home. Data was gathered through direct and indirect interviews lasting 50-60 minutes. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 12 participants. Demographic data questionnaires, interview guides, daily notes, and voice recorders are used as data collection tools. Content analysis is used to analyze data. The study's findings revealed six themes, namely: Theme 1. Participants' signs and symptoms prior to the PCR examination; theme 2. Participants' psychological reactions following the PCR examination; theme 3. The emergence of health conditions among participants during self-isolation at home; theme 4. Tools for monitoring participants' health status during self-isolation at home are available; theme 5. Participants' activities and efforts during self-isolation at home, and theme 6.
