PURPOSE: Cyberscam survivors experience significant financial losses and devastating psychosocial consequences. Anyone can be scammed, but people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) may be particularly vulnerable. Smooth Sailing After Scams is a novel co-designed 10-session cyberscam psychosocial intervention piloted with people with ABI who had been scammed. This study aimed to qualitatively explore participants' experiences of the program.
METHOD: Twenty-two adults (nABI=10, nclose others=8, nclinicians=3) who participated in, or delivered the intervention completed one semi-structured interview via videoconferencing (Mage=54.7, SD = 17.5). Reflexive thematic analysis was used.
RESULTS: Seven themes were generated, reflecting factors that supported intervention outcomes and participant experiences. "Intervention enablers" incorporated: 1) "Sense of community"; 2) "Therapeutic alliance"; and 3) "Well-run and well-managed", "Therapeutic enhancers": 4) "Increasing insight through the scam adjustment journey"; 5) "It's brought us closer", "Positive outcomes": 6) "I learnt how to stay safe online", 7) "I don't feel shame".
CONCLUSIONS: This novel cyberscam psychosocial adjustment intervention was perceived to support improvements in cybersafety, emotional and social wellbeing. Further refinement and empirical evaluation through a controlled trial are needed. This work contributes to the often-overlooked area of aftercare for the psychosocial impacts of scams, with particular attention to some of the most vulnerable in the community.
