Relationship between compliance with contact isolation precautions and time required, relative to full compliance.

Time	Mean (sec)	N	SEM	P
Before room entry
Fully compliant	59.9	21	7.15	1.000
Partially compliant	43.2	103	6.92	.288
Non-compliant	3.2	56	2.16	<.001
Non-isolation room	0.0	9	0	<.001
In room
Fully compliant	507.3	23	82.26	1.000
Partially compliant	375.0	108	37.18	.140
Non-compliant	149.7	54	73.72	.006
Non-isolation room	28.4	7	50.29	.027
After room exit
Fully compliant	15.2	21	6.33	1.000
Partially compliant	12.6	127	2.74	.722
Non-compliant	1.3	89	0.81	<.001
Non-isolation room	0.5	9	0.38	.145

Note. Completion of all contact isolation precaution tasks in the correct order before room entry and after room exit was considered full compliance. Completing at least one, but not all, contact isolation tasks was considered partial compliance. Failure to complete any contact isolation tasks was considered non-compliance.
