Summary
Small improvements in social media skills were observed, although no significant changes were noted on quantitative measures for quality of life or confidence and enjoyment of Facebook use. Following a thematic analysis of interview data and incorporating reflections from peer moderators, we generated eight themes: loss, isolation, return, confidence, choice, identity, connection to community, and the “peer” effect. The intervention was identified as being feasible, acceptable, and engaging for all, with the role of the peer moderators perceived as being highly relevant and relatable by the participants. The peer moderators reported a positive influence on their confidence and sense of self-identity following the intervention.
