Abstract

The digital age has both positive and negative impacts on adolescents in their daily lives. If adolescents continue to engage excessively with digital media, the risk of developing a digital addiction will increase. Some adolescents have reported risks of smartphone addiction that negatively impact their lives. Therefore, there is a need for psychoeducational interventions regarding smartphone addiction or digital addiction to prevent and reduce the risks associated with this behavior. This psychoeducational program involved 11 adolescents from the Senyum Anak Nusantara (SAN) Community in Kupang City. The psychoeducation was conducted over three days and covered an introduction to digital addiction, its causes, impacts, solutions, and strategies to avoid digital addiction. The methods used in this psychoeducation were lectures and experiential learning. The results of the pre-test and post-test measurements showed significant changes. Future interventions could focus on digital detox and social support for adolescents struggling with smartphone addiction.
