Cancer pain management is a critical aspect of patient care, yet many cancer patients do not have adequate access to pain relief due to various barriers, such as limited availability of pain medications, healthcare infrastructure, and public awareness.

This study will assess the impact of oncology nurses’ advocacy efforts on improving pain relief accessibility for cancer patients at Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.
