Abstract

Rasa tidak aman atau insecure dapat memicu terjadinya hal negative pada diri, seperti stress. Memang perasaan ini pasti pernah dialami setiap orang, namun tidak ada satu orang pun yang menginginkan itu terjadi. Perkembangan tekhnologi ibarat pedang bermata dua; adanya kemudahan, namun juga tekanan. Kondisi ekonomi yang kurang stabil, standar hidup yang makin tinggi dan media social membuat orang harus selalu produktif. Tanpa disadari memengaruhi kondisi mental generasi muda atau remaja berusia 10-19 tahun. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini menggunakan desain eksperimen melalui pre test dan post test dengan jumlah 108 mahasiswa. Berdasarkan hasil pre test dan post test didapatkan hasil terjadinya peningkatan pengetahuan mahasiswa. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta sosialisasi dibandingkan dengan kegiatan sebelumnya. Sebanyak 108 peserta baik dari mahasiswa maupun non mahasiswa merasakan perasaan insecure , mulai dari faktor genetic yang ikut mempengaruhi, stressor dari lingkungan, takut mengecewakan orang lain, kurangnya rasa percaya diri, bergantung pada orang lain, hingga pula dari rasa overthinking. Banyak yang bisa dilakukan seperti jadi diri sendiri, belajar dari masa lalu, temukan kelebihan yang dimiliki, dan juga kelilingi dirimu dengan orang suportif, hingga lakukan detox media sosial.

Review

This paper presents a timely and relevant community outreach initiative focused on addressing social media insecurity and its impact on mental health among young individuals. Given the pervasive influence of social media and the rising concerns about mental well-being in the digital age, the topic of "Penyuluhan Kesehatan Mental Social Media Insecurity: Don’t Compare, Be Yourself" is highly pertinent. The abstract effectively highlights the problem of insecurity leading to stress, particularly in the context of societal pressures and technological advancements affecting youth aged 10-19. The aim of this program to equip participants with strategies to navigate these challenges is commendable and aligns with critical public health objectives. The methodology employed, an experimental design with pre-test and post-test administered to 108 participants, primarily students, offers a structured approach to evaluating the program's immediate impact. The core finding—a reported increase in participant knowledge and understanding—is a positive indicator of the outreach's effectiveness in imparting crucial information. While the abstract mentions participants comprising both "mahasiswa maupun non mahasiswa" alongside the initial mention of 108 students, a precise breakdown would enhance clarity regarding the target demographic. The abstract also effectively outlines the diverse contributing factors to insecurity, from genetic predispositions to overthinking, and provides a practical list of coping mechanisms, suggesting a comprehensive approach within the outreach content. Overall, this community service activity demonstrates a valuable effort to proactively address a significant mental health concern in a vulnerable population. The positive pre-post test results suggest that educational interventions can play a vital role in enhancing mental health literacy regarding social media insecurity. For future presentations or full manuscripts, it would be beneficial to elaborate on the specific content and delivery methods of the outreach, as well as the instruments used to measure "knowledge" and "understanding" more precisely. This work contributes meaningfully to the field of community mental health education and provides a good foundation for potentially larger-scale interventions or longitudinal studies.
