Article Abstract
Objectives: To describe the relationships among patient self-advocacy, patient-centered communication, pain intensity, and opioid stigma in female breast cancer survivors aged 65 years or older.
Sample & Setting: 73 women in a longitudinal study of symptoms experienced during the first year and as many as three years after breast cancer surgery.
Methods & Variables: This prospective, cross-sectional study employed a descriptive, correlational design. Participants completed instrument assessments measuring self-advocacy, patient-centered communication, pain intensity, and opioid stigma.
Results: Self-advocacy correlated moderately positively with patient-centered communication. Patient-centered communication correlated moderately positively with informed decision-making.
Implications For Nursing: Nurses can empower patients with the necessary skills to self-advocate for their needs and facilitate a patient-centered clinical environment to improve outcomes.

Many physician-associated barriers to GOC discussions have been identified, but there is little understanding of the lived experiences of patients and their nominated health care spokespersons (NHSs) who have participated in the discussion.
Objectives: We aimed to describe the lived experience of participants of GOC discussions conducted during acute inpatient care and identify the features of well-conducted GOC discussions.
