ittle research has been conducted into the broad themes of the factors that encourage nurses to comply with infection control procedures — experimental approaches have dominated previous research. A qualitative study into the views and understanding of senior nurses related to infection control procedures was undertaken at a large district general hospital.

This paper looks at a number of themes, which emerged as important bases for compliance with infection control procedures. This included the importance of role models, leadership, efficacy of link groups and communication links.

Key Words: Views and understanding • infection control procedures • matrons • link personnel • leadership
