Description
Summary:The brutal disruptions caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic require dynamic ways of responding, not only to the informational needs of communities, but also engaging and creating interventions they consider relevant to their psychospiritual needs. Using the design thinking steps, we identified, developed and tested the type and nature of a unique song which residents of a gated community needed in their journey through COVID-19 lockdowns and government restrictions. The design thinking model provided clear steps for engaging residents to develop an anti-COVID-19 song of hope to cope with the physical, sociopolitical, psychological and spiritual trauma caused by the pandemic.
