Abstract
The results of a collaborative survey between the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika - Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) on the Status of Digital Literacy in Indonesia (2023) indicate that the digital literacy of Indonesian netizens is categorized as moderate (score of 3.65 out of 5). However, this score is considered low compared to other ASEAN countries. This can lead to various negative impacts such as easily believing fake news, cyberbullying, and being vulnerable to online fraud. These negative impacts also have the potential to cause various problems that can disrupt mental health. The Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Pancasila understands the connection between digital literacy and mental health. Therefore feel the need to contribute by conducting social interventions. The activity carried out was psychoeducation aimed at strengthening the mental health of the community in general by improving the understanding of digital literacy. The psychoeducation activity was carried out on August 13, 2024, at SMP Negeri 1 Sukamakmur located in Sukaresmi Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency, West Java, which still has limitations in terms of facilities and human resource development. This psychoeducation was conducted for 43 teachers from early childhood education to high school in the vicinity of Sukaresmi Village. The results of the pre-test and post-test showed a significant increase in digital literacy skills (p<0.001) after psychoeducation (M=4.28- SD=1.03) compared to before psychoeducation (M=2.45- SD=1.09). This increased understanding is expected to reduce the negative impacts of using digital media and teachers can disseminate the knowledge gained, especially to students.
