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:
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.
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.
Researchers prepared a health education unit and designed a booklet about seated exercises and psychological interventions. The developed program was applied to each patients using teach-back method.
Seated Exercises In the sitting position, women were instructed to perform different types of exercises. Researchers demonstrated each exercise and asked women to practice preoperatively to be ready for re-demonstrating them after surgery. Patients were asked to perform the exercise repeatedly until mastering the necessary skills.
Psychological Rehabilitation The participants received training about the implementation of four psychological interventions, namely mindfulness breathing, problem-solving training, cognitive reframing, and thought stopping.
Follow-up Women were instructed to practice each exercise ten times and repeat the whole activity five times per day. Women were followed up for two months to ensure their commitment to the program and provide the needed support.

| Piper Fatigue Scale | The scale was developed to measure the subjective dimension of fatigue. It include 22 items measuring four elements of subjective fatigue: behavioral/temporal (6 items), sensory (5 items), cognitive/mood (6 items), and affective/emotional meaning (5 items). Participants were asked to rate their level of fatigue on a scale ranging from 0 to 10. The total score ranges from 0 to 220; the higher the score, the higher the fatigue level | one month |
| Mini-Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale | This self-report survey created to gauge the cancer patients' ways to cope. It consists of 29 items rated on a four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 "Does not apply at all to me" to 4 "Totally applies to me"). It includes five subscales under two main categories: maladaptive coping, including helplessness/hopelessness (8 items), and anxious preoccupation (8 items). The higher the score, the higher the maladaptive coping. However, adaptive coping includes fighting spirit (4 items), fatalism (5 items), and cognitive avoidance (4 items) . In this category, high scores means increased the likelihood of adaptive coping skills. | one month |
