“…Previous studies have also highlighted the efficacy of multifactorial physiotherapy in managing postoperative pain and improving joint function in breast cancer patients. Ribeiro et al (2010) found that ROM exercises significantly improved shoulder flexion, abduction, and external rotation, supporting the current study's findings (10). The improvement in muscle strength, as measured by MMT, was also significant in the case group across several muscle groups.…”

“…The literature indicates that multifactorial physiotherapy, including stretching and exercises, is effective in treating postoperative pain and joint dysfunctions following mammary carcinoma surgery. High-quality studies advocate for carefully monitored exercise prescriptions to address persistent upper limb dysfunctions, which, if untreated, can lead to post-surgical complications (10,11,12). Chronic pain, decreased muscle strength, reduced cardiorespiratory fitness, shoulder dysfunction, weight gain, and other healthrelated issues are common post-treatment.…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women globally, with Pakistan having one of the highest incidence rates in Asia. Post-mastectomy patients often suffer from shoulder pain, reduced range of motion (ROM), and muscle weakness, impacting their quality of life. This study investigates the efficacy of a comprehensive exercise regimen in alleviating these symptoms. Objective: To evaluate the impact of aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises on shoulder pain, ROM, and muscle strength in post-mastectomy patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: A six-month case-control study was conducted with 60 participants, aged 25-65, who had undergone radical mastectomy and were in the chemotherapy phase. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the case group (n=30), which underwent an eight-week program of aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises, and the control group (n=30), which performed only aerobic exercises. Data collection tools included the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain assessment, a Goniometer for ROM measurement, and Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) for muscle strength evaluation. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with paired and independent t-tests applied to compare pre- and post-intervention scores. Results: The case group showed a significant reduction in VAS scores (mean difference = 2.93333, p<0.001) compared to the control group (mean difference = 0.40000, p=0.028). MMT results indicated significant improvements in muscle strength for the right deltoid (mean difference = -0.40000, p=0.009) and left pectoralis major (mean difference = -0.73333, p<0.001) in the case group. ROM improvements were significant for right shoulder extension (mean difference = -0.80000, p<0.001) and left shoulder external rotation (mean difference = -1.73333, p<0.001) in the case group. Conclusion: A comprehensive exercise regimen, including aerobic, mobility, and strengthening exercises, significantly improved shoulder pain, ROM, and muscle strength in post-mastectomy patients. These findings support the integration of multifactorial physiotherapy into rehabilitation protocols for breast cancer survivors to enhance their long-term health and quality of life. Keywords: Breast cancer, mastectomy, shoulder pain, range of motion, muscle strength, aerobic exercises, mobility exercises, strengthening exercises, rehabilitation, physiotherapy, post-mastectomy recovery.

“…Since the expiry of World Bank support to the ADPs in the mid 1990s, the continued viability of the ADPs has been of concern to all stakeholders in the extension system (Apantaku, Sodiya, Apantaku, & Fakoya, 2000). The ADPs have had to reduce the scope of their operations due to the irregular and inadequate government subventions.…”

“…Sometimes the salaries of workers and allowances are either delayed or not paid for several months, there is an embargo on the recruitment of new staff, and it is difficult to service broken equipment or acquire new ones. Further, personnel have less clearly defined information on role responsibilities and performance expectations (Apantaku et al, 2000; Omotayo, Chikwendu, & Adebayo, 2001). The problem of financial sustainability of the training and visit program is not a peculiarity of Nigeria alone but also occurs in other countries that have adopted this extension practice (Arokoyo, 1998; Davidson, Ahmad, & Ali, 2001).…”

Ce travail fournit une évaluation empirique des effets de l’ambiguïté du rôle professionnel sur la perception de la politique de l’organisation (PPO) et de l’impact du sentiment de devoir sur la relation entre la PPO, la souffrance professionnelle et les comportements de citoyenneté organisationnelle (CCO). On a mené une enquête sur du personnel supplémentaire de deux programmes de développement agricole dans le sud‐ouest du Nigeria. 229 questionnaires traitables ont été récupérés. Une analyse de régression hiérarchique montra que l’ambiguïté de rôle prédisait la PPO. La PPO était corrélée négativement avec le sentiment de devoir et les CCO, mais positivement avec la souffrance professionnelle. La relation entre la PPO et les CCO était renforcée quand les employés présentaient plutôt des niveaux faibles du sentiment de devoir envers l’organisation. Cependant, il n’y avait pas d’interférence significative du sentiment de devoir sur la relation entre la PPO et la souffrance professionnelle. This study provides an empirical assessment of the effects of job ambiguity on perceptions of organisational politics (POP) and the moderating role of an employee's felt obligation on the relationships between POP and job distress and organisational citizenship behaviors (OCB). A census of extension personnel in two Agricultural Development Programs (ADPs) in Southwestern Nigeria was undertaken. In all, 229 extension personnel returned useable surveys. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that job ambiguity predicted POP. POP was negatively related to felt obligation and OCB, and positively associated with job distress. The relationship between POP and OCB was stronger when employees reported lower rather than higher levels of felt obligation toward the organisation. However, there was no significant moderating effect of felt obligation on the relationship between POP and job distress.
