Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aimed to examine the effect of bundling seated exercises and psychoeducational rehabilitation using the teach-back approach on fatigue and coping of women postmastectomy. Hypotheses for research: 1. Women with BC who receive seated exercises and psychoeducational rehabilitation using the teach-back approach after mastectomy exhibit less fatigue than those who do not. 2. Women with BC who receive seated exercises and psychoeducational rehabilitation using the teach-back approach after mastectomy exhibit improved coping behaviors than those who do not. A quasi-experimental research was conducted in the main University Hospital, Alexandria, Egypt. A total of 60 women were randomly allocated to one of two groups.; women in the study group practiced seated exercises and psychological rehabilitation interventions, including mindfulness breathing, problem-solving training, cognitive reframing technique, and thought stopping.
