| dc.description.abstract | Most people lives are highly dependent on the quality of healthcare services rendered to them. One of the most important factors which people consider as a quality measure in hospitals is cleanliness. The National Health Service (2003) stresses "Cleanliness of institutions" as one of the six priority measures of quality. Although cleanliness means removal of unwanted materials from specific areas, it is not about maintaining the place spotless tidy, but ensuring that the physical surroundings do not affect the patients' psychological environment. This research sought to explore factors influencing cleanliness in the Public Hospitals of Amathole District in the province of the Eastern Cape, South Africa. | |
