Table 3.

Resources used by resilient individuals for re-moding (N = 55).

Resource Type Count Excerpt
Economic (10)
Owned car 1 “The travel to and from work became stressful and tiring, before this pandemic my means of transportation is public transportation but due to this happening, I was forced to use a personal car.”
Bought bicycle 3 “I decided to buy a bike in April 2020. I used my 13th-month bonus for the purchase of the bike.”

“The suspension of public transport gravely affected my capacity to work, and helped me decide to shift to biking to work.”
Bought e-scooter 1 “I bought an e-scooter which I used for 2–3 weeks of the lockdown. Then I got into an accident. A friend drove me to work. After that, I decided to buy my own car.”
Rented motorcycle/car 5 “It was challenging to find a means of transportation during the ECQ. Because the location of my residence is not along the routes of the free shuttles provided by various agencies, I had to find my own means to go to work. I had some difficulty finding tricycles that can take me to the hospital… In the end, I was able to make a deal with a certain tricycle driver who regularly fetched me from home and dropped me off at work.”

“During the pandemic, I need to hire a private car which is not cheap… During this time, transferring to a closer [hemodialysis] center is not possible because every center does not accept a new patient.”
Institutional (7)
Special rides from the government, company, and hospital 5 “During the lockdown, I relied heavily on walking and the free shuttle service by the hospitals… I was limited to working only on clinics where I can go by foot, or hospitals that provide transportation service.”

“During ECQ the company provided us shuttle while CDC [a government-owned corporation] provided us accommodation. Some local restaurants provided us with food which fueled us to continue our work.”
Work from home 2 “There was no need to go to the office because we were allowed to work from home during the ECQ.”
Social (7)
Family 5 “I do not drive going to the hospital. I had to ask my brother-in-law to bring me to the hospital and had to ask my sister to fetch me after my clinic hours. I feel that by doing so I burdened them.”

“My father was the one who drives me to work so whenever he picks me up from work he is very much exposed to the virus since I also handled the COVID samples during my duty.”
Friends and neighbors 2 “Our neighbor took me to the hospital by car and then subsequently I was able to use tricycles from outside the hospital directly to my home, both at time of discharge and subsequent checkups, so again transportation was not really an issue in spite of lockdown restrictions.”
Geographical (1)
Walk 1 “I was lucky enough to be living near a medical facility at a walking distance. Had I been living farther away, I would have opted to cancel my medical appointment.”
