Penguatan Literasi Digital Kesehatan Berbasis Nilai Islam pada Remaja Perempuan

Abstract

The digital transformation within the healthcare sector necessitates an elevation in digital health literacy, particularly among boarding school adolescents who are susceptible to the perils of inaccurate health information. This community service initiative sought to enhance the digital health literacy of students at Al-Rifa’e Islamic Senior High School through an educational framework that amalgamates technology, health content, and Islamic values. The methodologies employed encompassed participatory lectures, contextual discussions, and a questionnaire-based evaluation composed of five fundamental indicators. Results indicated that 88% of participants attained a high level of literacy, 8% demonstrated moderate proficiency, and 4% exhibited low literacy. A remarkable 96.15% were adept at identifying non-credible sources of health information, while 92.31% were capable of determining appropriate responses when confronted with dubious health content. Nevertheless, 19.23% of participants still encountered difficulties in discerning health-related hoaxes, highlighting a significant challenge within the learning continuum. The findings suggest that, despite elevated levels of digital literacy, the competencies associated with evaluation and decision-making remain inadequately developed. The incorporation of Islamic values, such as the principles of tabligh (conveying truth) and tabayyun (verification), proved instrumental in reinforcing students’ comprehension of digital information ethics. This program exemplifies that contextual digital health education, interwoven with religious and cultural values, can effectively cultivate a generation of youth who are both physically healthy and digitally discerning.
