Publisher Description

Hearing one has a diagnosis of breast cancer may be a shock and initiate a cascade of life changes that all too many women experience. More than 25% of the 10 million cancer survivors in the United States are breast cancer survivors (National Cancer Institute [NCI], 2005). Breast cancer survivors in the extended stage of survivorship have completed treatment and are less than 5 years since diagnosis (Mullan, 1985). During this stage of survivorship, it is essential for people to participate knowingly in their changing life. Women have shared how important it is to be aware of what is going on with them and what their options and choices are so they can knowingly participate in making changes and decisions related to life-style and health in their new situation (Bilodeau & Degner, 1996; Lally, 2009; Thind, Hoq, Diamant, & Maly, 2010). Despite evidence of the importance of awareness, choices, freedom to act with intention, and involvement in creating change in their lives, power as knowing participation in change, a middle-range nursing theory addressing these manifestations, has been examined on a limited basis (Farren, 2010). The purpose of the paper is to describe a secondary analysis of power in a sample of breast cancer survivors in the extended stage of survivorship. The findings are presented and discussed in relation to Barrett's power theory (Barrett, 2010) and literature. Conclusions and implications for theory, research, and practice are presented.
