title: Infection control. Dazed and confused.
abstract: This research project aims to uncover the practical concerns of health care staff on a hospital ward while attempting to implement isolation precaution guidelines for patients with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The project is still in progress so this article describes the research methods used and some preliminary findings.
