Abstract

Remaja binaan Rumah Zakat Sulawesi Selatan menggunakan media digital dalam keseharian, tetapi belum memperoleh pelatihan etika digital yang terstruktur. Kondisi ini menunjukkan kebutuhan penguatan empati digital sebagai kapasitas pendukung pencegahan perundungan siber. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan empati digital melalui psikoedukasi partisipatif berbasis pengalaman. Tahap persiapan meliputi analisis kebutuhan terhadap 24 remaja, koordinasi mitra, serta penyusunan materi dan instrumen evaluasi. Pelatihan dilaksanakan pada 19 Juni 2026 di Makassar dengan melibatkan 20 peserta berusia 15–21 tahun, terdiri atas 10 laki-laki dan 10 perempuan. Kegiatan mencakup edukasi etika komunikasi daring, diskusi, simulasi kasus, bermain peran, latihan kesadaran penuh, dan refleksi. Evaluasi menggunakan pengukuran empati digital sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan, observasi partisipasi, serta penilaian kepuasan. Rata-rata skor meningkat dari 53,05 menjadi 65,25, dengan selisih 12,20 poin. Kepuasan peserta berkisar antara 4,67 dan 4,95 pada skala 1–5. Observasi pelaksanaan menunjukkan keterlibatan peserta dalam memahami perspektif korban, pelaku, dan pengamat. Hasil ini menunjukkan perubahan positif pada skor empati digital dan penerimaan peserta terhadap kegiatan. Penguatan berkala dan evaluasi lanjutan diperlukan karena pengukuran dilakukan segera setelah pelatihan, tanpa kelompok pembanding, serta belum menilai perubahan perilaku perundungan siber secara langsung.
