Abstract
This integrative review applied the Cognitive Awareness Model to examine subjective-objective cognitive discrepancies in breast cancer survivors. Evidence reveals distinct awareness patterns (accurate awareness, hyperawareness, unawareness, global impairment) with differential psychological and biological correlates. Both subjective complaints and objective deficits associate with functional outcomes, supporting comprehensive assessment protocols for survivorship care.
