Abstrak

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan sosialisasi dan pendampingan kepada pemuda Kristen Jemaat I.S. Kijne Abepura, Papua dalam mengatasi kecanduan media sosial melalui program intervensi digital wellness berbasis komunitas. Program mengintegrasikan pendekatan psikologi berbasis bukti dengan perspektif teologis Kristen untuk meningkatkan kesehatan mental dan kualitas relasi interpersonal. Kegiatan sosialisasi intensif satu hari dirancang menggunakan pendekatan Community-Based Participatory Education dikombinasikan dengan Experiential Learning Theory. Program menginkorporasi teknik Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, strategi digital detox, dan prinsip stewardship Kristen. Penilaian efektivitas menggunakan Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale dan indikator kesehatan mental terhadap 45 peserta berusia 16-25 tahun. Survei awal mengungkap kondisi mengkhawatirkan: 84,4% responden menggunakan media sosial lebih dari 4 jam per hari, dengan 31,1% berisiko tinggi dan 13,3% mengalami kecanduan. Korelasi kuat ditemukan antara penggunaan media sosial bermasalah dengan depresi (r=0,567, p<0,001) dan kecemasan (r=0,523, p<0,001). Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan signifikan (≥40% peningkatan pre-post), penurunan Fear of Missing Out (≥30%), dan komitmen perilaku (80% peserta berjanji mengurangi penggunaan). Model program teradaptasi budaya dan terintegrasi iman terbukti efektif untuk promosi digital wellness dalam komunitas keagamaan. Keberhasilan kegiatan mendemonstrasikan pentingnya menggabungkan bukti ilmiah dengan kerangka teologis, menciptakan perubahan perilaku berkelanjutan melalui sistem dukungan sebaya dan integrasi komunitas. Model ini menawarkan solusi replikabel untuk mengatasi kecanduan digital dalam konteks berbasis iman.
