Abstract

Resilience is the ability to be able to adapt to the conditions faced by someone and is needed by someone who has COVID-19. The purpose of this study was to explore the experience of mothers in increasing resilience when confirmed positive for COVID-19. The method used in this study is qualitative with a phenomenological approach. A total of 11 mothers who have recovered from COVID-19 participated in telling their experiences of fighting against COVID-19. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. From the results of the study, 5 themes were identified, namely: 1) Various feelings that arise when confirmed positive for covid-19 and have to undergo self-isolation; 2) Availability of support makes mothers able to survive; 3) Mother’s source of resilience; 4) Continue to carry out the role as a mother even in an unhealthy condition; 5) Various feelings after completing self-isolation. Experiencing covid-19 does not make mothers give up on the situation. Every mother thinks about how the life of her children and spouse would be without them and this becomes the greatest strength for every mother to get through the illness well.
