“…The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report 31 emphasizes the role of nurses in achieving health equity. Oncology nurse navigators should be accessible and available to all persons with cancer to provide patient-centered quality cancer care that is equitable, safe, timely, and effective 32 . Similarly, the National Institute of Nursing Research 2022-2026 strategic plan 33 emphasizes the role of nursing research with specific regard to research on health equity, social determinants of health, and population and community health.…”

Advance care planning (ACP) is a continuous process where individuals discuss and document their end-of-life preferences with trusted caregivers and health care providers. Caregivers are pivotal to include in ACP discussions because they assist loved ones to navigate serious medical illness. The purpose of this study was to examine caregivers' engagement in ACP decision making with their loved ones with cancer. A qualitative descriptive design was used, informed by Engel's biopsychosocial model, with a convenience sample of 14 caregivers in North Carolina. Virtual interviews were conducted using a semistructured interview guide. Using prevalence logic, the overarching theme of “Changing Life Plans” was explained by two subthemes, “Learning the Diagnosis” and “Keeping Them on Track.” The timing and location of ACP conversations were important considerations. Over half of the participants (64%) had no knowledge or had misconceptions about ACP, and 5 had accurate knowledge. Nurses could develop partnerships with community leaders trained in palliative care principles to begin conversations early with community members. Advocacy groups might hold events, such as the Hello Game, in community settings to facilitate early ACP conversations.

“…Efforts to reduce disparities among older adults with cancer across sociodemographic groups will not be accomplished by a single researcher or practitioner. It will require a team approach, 92 and it will be important to ensure that each member of the cancer care delivery team defines health disparities and health equity inclusive of differences by age and differences within the older adult population (eg, differences by race or ethnicity among older adults). Being clear and explicit about the definitions and the methods for measurement and reporting will ensure that the team is also consistent about the goals for equitable treatment of older adults with cancer.…”
