th workers in a clinic affect the patients?” This research question is meant to gather information that addresses the type of hygienic negligence by health workers and whether or not it affects the health of patients in the clinic or even hospital setting.

The research methodology comprises of the sampling technique and data collection instruments and methodology. The research design appropriate for this kind of research is cross-sectional research design (Babbie 2010 Pg 91). This type of sampling will cut across both the public and private run clinics. This is important for comparison purposes in order to determine where cases of hygienic negligence are most common.

The data will be collected using questionnaires, interview schedules and focus group discussions (Babbie 2010 Pg 100). The questionnaires will be handed to the health workers working in those chosen clinics and will contain questions specifically addressing hygiene in the clinics. The interviews will be on the clinic management committee who will give statistics on the cases of hygienic negligence reported. Finally, the focus group discussion will target patients and specifically those that have witnessed cases of hygienic negligence in those clinics.

All the health workers and patients cannot be included in the research and hence quota sampling will be used to pick those that will be included in the study. The quotas will be of patients, health workers and management of those clinics and they will be picked randomly. The management quota will have twenty people picked randomly from both public and private clinics, while the patients and health workers quotas will have fifty individuals each also from both public and private clinics.

The data to be collected from health workers will involve purely how they handle hygiene within the clinics and what measures are in place to ensure hygiene is maintained. On the part of patients, they will give information on how they have witnessed hygiene being
