D. Ward

Infection control nurse, Sheffield South-West Primary Care Trust, Sheffield, S7 2PY

nfection control teams are constantly looking at ways of improving compliance with infection control precautions. One of the factors affecting compliance, that has not been seriously addressed is gender. This paper looks at research findings relating to gender differences in infection control and discusses the theories proposed to explain these differences, in order to attempt to understand why such differences occur.

Key Words: compliance • infection control • gender differences
