INTRODUCTION

The story of the coronavirus begins with the first report of a COVID19 outbreak of a cluster of human pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. The first date of onset of cases was December 1, 2019. The patient's symptoms include fever, malaise, dry cough and shortness of breath. diagnosed as a symptom of pneumonia virus infection. Initially, the disease was called Wuhan pneumonia by the press because of its pneumonia-like symptoms. The genome sequencing results show that the causative agent is the new coronavirus. The World Health Organization (WHO) provisionally named the novel coronavirus 2019 (2019nCoV) on 12 January 2020, and then officially changed it to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) on 12 February 2020 (Pranata, 2021).

The Government of the Republic of Indonesia has made various efforts to combat the spread of this virus. Due to the lack of vaccines that can still enter the human body and their ability to spread very quickly, one step that is considered effective is to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus (Alfaritsi et al., 2020). By slowing down the spread of the virus in society, it is hoped that medical facilities will be able to treat existing patients so that medical facilities do not fall due to the imbalance in the number of patients and medical facilities.

One of the government's breakthroughs is the creation of the PeduliLindungi application which is able to warn the public if they enter an area affected by COVID-19, find health facilities and track any abnormalities. anyone who has the potential to be infected with the COVID-19 virus.

PeduliLindungi is an application developed to help relevant government agencies track in order to prevent the spread of the corona virus disease (COVID19).

This app is built on community engagement to share location data with each other while traveling so that contact history searches can be carried out with people with COVID-19. Users of this application will also receive notifications if they are in a crowd or in a red zone, especially areas or subdivisions where people are infected with COVID-19 or patients are under surveillance.

Through this study a usability analysis will be carried out on the PeduliLindungi application which was launched in early March to help overcome the Covid19 pandemic, however the availability of this application cannot be measured. Based on this background, a study "Measuring System Usability Using the Use Questionnaire in the PeduliLindungi Application" will be carried out.

PeduliLindungi

PeduliLindungi is an application developed to help relevant government agencies track in order to prevent the spread of the corona virus disease (COVID19). This app is built on community engagement to share location data with each other while traveling so that contact history searches can be carried out with people with COVID-19. Users of this application will also receive notifications if they are in a crowd or in a red zone, especially areas or subdivisions where people are infected with COVID-19 or patients are under surveillance.

Usability

How easy it is to use, learn, and encourage users to use the system as a tool to accomplish tasks and reduce, abuse, and deliver benefits. The level of quality that satisfies users is an understanding of usability. According to Jakob Nielsen, Usability is a quality measure that is useful in providing a value for the ease of use by system users or website interfaces by considering certain criteria (Nielsen, 2021). It can be concluded that usability is a measurement made to evaluate a system or application using certain conditions given to users who have used the system or application.

Use Questionnaire

The Use Questionnaire is a collection of questionnaires provided by Lund. The questionnaire can be used to measure usability because it contains three measurement standards according to ISO 9241 namely efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction. According to Gita Indah Marthasari & Nur Hayatin, the questionnaire has three variables to measure system user satisfaction (user satisfaction), namely usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning and user satisfaction (Marthasari & Hayatin, 2017).

 

RESEARCH METHODS

1.    Research Object

The object of this research is the PeduliLindungi application. The data collection method used is a questionnaire using Google Forms (Gform), so that the questionnaire can be easily distributed and filled out. The scale for the questionnaire survey results is divided into a Likert scale which is divided into a scale of 1 to 4, namely Strongly Agree (SS), Agree (S), Disagree (TS), and Strongly Disagree (STS), with a score of each scale on Table 1 follows:

2.    Research Stages

The research steps are levels or levels which can also be referred to as levels in a research activity. Where these steps have a process that is carried out in a structured, consistent, standard, logical and systematic manner. The following are the steps and explanations carried out in this study:

a.    Exploring the Concept The initial step of this research was exploring the concept by documenting the concepts used in this study, especially looking for references to the Cares Protect Application, Usability, Use Questionnaire and Likert Scale.

b.    Analysis of the questionnaire statements At this stage, the analysis of the questionnaire statements was carried out using the analysis of the usefulness of the PeduliLindungi application. Research indicators This research will be the basis for developing statements from the questionnaire.

c.    Collection and Distribution of Questionnaires The stages of data collection and analysis are carried out by creating a measuring instrument in the form of a questionnaire on the Google Form. Distribution of data to respondents is done online through social networks such as Instagram, Whats App and Line according to predetermined criteria.

d.    Feasibility Test Each questionnaire statement must undergo a feasibility test, validity test and reliability test to find out whether the tools used are good.

e.    Usability Testing Analysis The results of filling out the questionnaire are then added up and the usability value is calculated.

f.     Conclusion The final step in this study is to draw conclusions.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The results carried out in this study went through several stages as shown in Figure 2.


 

Figure 2. Research Stages

 


The application of information technology can be an integral part of improving quality and increasing trading activity, one of which is the use of information systems. This study uses the USE Questionnaire as usability measurement. The USE Questionnaire is a questionnaire consisting of four indicators, namely usefulness, ease of use, ease of learning and satisfaction variables. This research uses questionnaire data which has been filled in by 135 respondents at random. The respondents were divided into categories of gender, age and occupation. In the gender category, it was shown that there were more male respondents (91 people) than female respondents (45 people). This is consistent with the statement that men have higher activities outside the home. In the age category, it was shown that the majority of respondents were 12-17 years old (0 people), 18-25 years (58 people), 26-40 years (68 people), 41-55 years (6 people), >55 years (3 people). 18 - 25 years to 26 - 40 years often do activities outside the home such as offices, shopping centers, tourist attractions, restaurants and cafes, cinemas, banks, hotels, public transportation (stations, bus stops, terminals, etc.), public facilities (RPTRA, parks, etc.), places of worship (mosques, churches, etc.), health facilities (hospitals, health centers, etc.). This PeduliLindungi application can help carry out monitoring by the Government of outside activities carried out outside the home.

A.   Questionnaire Statement Analysis

The first step in taking measurements with usability testing is compiling statements that will be used for the questionnaire and distributed to respondents for PeduliLindungi users. These statements refer to the USE Questionnaire tool. From this tool, 16 statements in the questionnaire can be used which are divided into 4 factors according to the factors in the Use Questionnaire, namely usefulness, satisfaction, ease of use, and ease of learning (A. Lund, 2021).

B.   Validity test

The validity test is used to determine the feasibility of the statement items. A questionnaire is tested for validity when closing the questionnaire can reveal something that is measured by the questionnaire (Sugiyono, 2018). The measurement of the validity test in this study was to correlate the bivariate Pearson R table with n(135) = 0.221. This was explained by the number of respondents as many as 135 people, so that the r table value was 0.221 and it could be concluded if the r count was greater than the r table calculator declared valid and vice versa if the r count is smaller than the r table then the measuring instrument is declared invalid. The results of the questionnaire validity test can be seen in table 4.

C.   Reliability Test

Reliability relates to the degree of consistency and balance of data or findings (Sugiyono, 2016). The reliability test is to find out the consistency of the measuring instruments that can be used, and to maintain consistency when re-measurement, and to find answers from sources, whether they can be processed further. The results obtained from the reliability test can be seen from the coefficient value of Croanbach's Alpha. To determine the level of instrument reliability, categories are used which can be seen in Table 6.

The reliability test was carried out by inputting the data obtained from the results of answering statements with a valid value of 16 and producing a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.947. Because the value of Cronbach's Alpha is in the range of 0.80<r11<1.00, as the basis for decision making in the reliability test above, it can be concluded that the 16 questions used show that the reliability of the questionnaire is at a very high level. So it can be concluded that the components and answers from the questionnaire can be declared reliable so that data processing can be continued because they meet the criteria.

D.   Reliability Test Results

After processing the data first, the thing that needs to be done is to analyze the results of the questionnaire. Data processing is carried out after the feasibility test results are obtained, namely the validity and reliability tests according to the provisions. After distributing the 16 statements in the questionnaire to 135 respondents, then the results of the questionnaire were recorded. The assessment was carried out using a Likert scale with a scale of 1 to 4, namely SS (4), S (3), TS (2), and STS (1). The recap results can be seen in Table 8.
