Topic > MRSA Case Study - 1689

In one of the studies healthcare workers were given a questionnaire, only 27.3% responded that no other healthcare worker had ever spoken to them about MRSA (Raupach- Rosin, et. al, 2016). This study demonstrates that healthcare providers need to be more educated on the topic of MRSA, how it spreads to patients, and how infection control intervention and patient education will help reduce the amount of acquired MRSA cases. In one study, patients were screened for MRSA for nasal colonization. Of 29,371 patients, 3,262 had MRSA colonization. (Marzec & Bessesen, 2016). The study conducted allowed healthcare workers to see the effects of how easily MRSA spreads and how many patients could easily contract it
