Abstract


Penggunaan gadget memberi manfaat bagi komunikasi dan pembelajaran, tetapi pemakaian yang tidak terkendali dapat mengganggu keseimbangan aktivitas anak dan remaja. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman tentang penggunaan gadget secara bijak dan pencegahan perilaku adiktif melalui edukasi partisipatif di Desa Tugu Rejo, Kecamatan Kabawetan, Kabupaten Kepahiang. Kegiatan melibatkan 47 peserta yang terdiri atas anak-anak, remaja, dan orang tua/wali. Metode pelaksanaan mencakup observasi kebutuhan, penyuluhan menggunakan presentasi dan poster, diskusi, tanya jawab, permainan edukatif, serta evaluasi deskriptif. Sebelum kegiatan, sebanyak 76% peserta dilaporkan mempunyai akses smartphone pribadi, 52% menggunakan gadget lebih dari empat jam per hari, dan 65% menunjukkan indikasi penggunaan berlebihan. Dalam laporan evaluasi dua minggu, 41% peserta disebut telah mengurangi penggunaan menjadi kurang dari tiga jam per hari; 58% remaja mulai menyusun jadwal aktivitas harian; dan 82% peserta menyatakan edukasi berdampak positif terhadap pemahaman mereka. Temuan menunjukkan penerimaan yang baik terhadap edukasi interaktif dan memberikan dasar untuk pendampingan keluarga serta sekolah. Namun, ketiadaan kelompok pembanding, rincian instrumen, dan pengujian inferensial membatasi kesimpulan tentang efektivitas kausal maupun keberlanjutan perubahan perilaku.
