UNAIR NEWS - Bunga Putri Sulfia and Sri Ardi Winda Cahyani, a team of D4 Traditional Medicine students from Universitas Airlangga, won first place in the PPTKTI Olympiad. Participated by all universities in Indonesia with Traditional Medicine (Battra) majors, the Olympiad was held online.

"Seeing many problems surrounding public health today, we as Battra students are moved to help, especially in terms of traditional medicine. The existence of this competition platform is a place for our team to provide useful content, introduce Battra, and able to prove the quality of our content," said Bunga.

The 60-second clip describes terrible habits that can cause insomnia. Not only that, Bunga and Sri also provide some tips to improve sleep quality, such as exercise, consuming herbal brews, and acupressure.

Biggest Challenge

The two students and their teammates answered that the biggest challenge when working on content was colliding with the final semester exam period (UAS). "Gathering motivation and fighting laziness to start, then there are time constraints because it coincides with the UAS period," Sri answered.

Bunga added that the content editing process took a long time because only two people did it. "However, we are quite satisfied with the results obtained, and become a motivation for our team to create other useful content to educate the public through social media, which, at present, online media is easier to access," she explained.

A Message for the Unproductive

To overcome all the challenges described, the two 2020 students also gave tips to get through it easily: finding a supportive team and daring to try and start.

Ultimately, Bunga advised all UNAIR students not to be afraid to start something. "For us students who feel unproductive, if there is an opportunity, just try and start first. Who knows, our luck is there," she concluded. (*)
