Abstract:

The impacts of COVID-19 pandemic related to resilience were experienced globally. Initial surveys showed an increase in hopelessness and depression among university students during COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Nevertheless, there's only a little research towards resilience of youth in rural area. This qualitative study aimed to understand resilience and its interaction with Balinese philosophies among university students during COVID-19 pandemic in rural area, Desa Tangguwisia. The study involved focus group with 15 young adults aged 18-24 in Desa Tangguwisia, Indonesia. Recruitment took place remotely and transcripts were coded and analyzed thematically. Components of resilience (control, origin & ownership, reach and endurance) were examined with some philosophies existed in the area and the results are: 1). Control and Origin & Ownership components of resilience are strongly related with the concept of Karma. This interaction brings mixed perceived resilience; most youth gets more acceptance to the situation and grow stronger while others keep questioning of what they have done wrong and becoming more depressed, 2). Reach and Endurance components of resilience were found related with the concept of Tri Hita Karana. This concept brings youth to the realization of positive and negative outcomes that may happen after pandemic. This study highlights the extent of pandemic and all it costs to resilience of youth in Desa Tangguwisia by strengthening the meaning of Balinese philosophies.
