Reimagining Breast Screening Through a Postmodern Feminist Lens: Empowering Nursing Knowledge in Qatar.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Qatar, with delayed diagnoses frequently linked to low participation in screening programs. Despite playing a critical role in patient care, nurses face systemic marginalization that curtails their autonomy and limits their ability to educate and advocate for women's health. This commentary applies a postmodern feminist lens to challenge dominant paradigms, particularly logical positivism, and argues for the recognition of contextual, relational, and gendered knowledge. By embracing a more inclusive philosophical framework, nursing knowledge can be elevated and nurses empowered to address disparities in breast cancer screening. Structural reforms and a reimagining of nursing's role are essential to improving patient outcomes and fostering equitable healthcare systems in Qatar. This article proposes nurse-led education initiatives and policy engagement in screening protocols as key strategies for addressing disparities in breast cancer screening.
