ward. As the student did not provide details about this experience, the information is general, so that the student can adapt it when reporting in his/her own paper. The
persons experience of illness including psychosocial aspects and their perception of their illness/condition: Mathewson (2006), a physician who had two hip replacement surgeries, relates his perceptions as a patient. His
reactions are undoubtedly typical and may offer insight into the psychosocial and perceptual reactions of patients that can aid the student in recording the reactions of his/her patient. Mathewson writes
that his vital signs were taken every four hours. He recalls that his "operated leg" was "so tender, so precious" requiring "such gentle support that only certain people" were "allowed
anywhere near it" when Mathewson had to move (Mathewson, 2006, p. 54). At first he was suspicious of nursing assistants having the skill to successful assist him in moving
or transferring as he assumed that they could not meet the "needs of a patient with a nearly two-ton leg"; however, when he finally did consent to being moved by
someone who was less than one of the "real nurses," in his estimation, he found that the young nursing assistant accomplished the transfer in the "sweetest, gentlest and smoothest"
manner possible (Mathewson, 2006, p. 54). Perhaps the student researching this paper encountered a similar reluctance with her/his patient, which would suggests a reaction similar to Mathewsons, who also refers
to the slow and deliberate actions of the nursing assistants in taking him through the "vital signs drill" (Mathewson, 2006, p. 54). Mauleon, Palo-Bengtsson, and Ekman (2007) also discuss
