Semi\u2010structured interviews were undertaken with occupancy decision\u2010makers to explore the practices, rationale decision\u2010making process associated with single\u2010room allocation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Total bed occupancy did not fall below 99\u00b74% during the period of data collection. Infection control was the primary reason for patients to be allocated to a single room, however, the patterns varied according to ward type and single\u2010room availability. For occupancy decision\u2010makers, decisions about patient allocation was a complex and challenging process, influenced and complicated by numerous factors including occupancy rates, the infection status of the patient\/s, funding and patient\/family preference. Bed moves were common resulting from frequent re\u2010evaluation of need.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Apart from infection control mandates, there was little tangible evidence to guide decision\u2010making about single\u2010room allocation. Further work is necessary to assist nurses in their decision\u2010making.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to clinical practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a trend towards increasing the proportion of single rooms in new hospital builds.
