Outreach Study and Social Work Practice Assistance for Covid-19 Victims in Jakarta and Singapore City

Abstract

This study aims to obtain an empirical description of the Outreach Study and Social Work Practice Assistance for Covid-19 Victims in the City of Jakarta and Singapore City. This research method uses a combination research type (Mixed-Methode) with an ex post facto approach. Data collection techniques are questionnaires, interviews, documentation studies, and focused discussions. The sources of data used are primary and secondary data sources. A concentrated conversation complements this research. The side-drawing technique used is multi-cluster sampling. Furthermore, the research results were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques. The results showed that the practice of social work in handling Covid-19 victims started with outreach to local governments and community administrators, collaborating with other professions, and providing psychosocial therapy services with counseling. Managing Covid-19 Victims in Jakarta with Batam and Singapore shows the difference; in Jakarta and Batam, the government and the public are directly involved in dealing with Covid-19 victims. Meanwhile, in Singapore, the handling of Covid-19 is through NGOs.
