Researchers studied healthcare staff workers' perceptions of the sources and control of MRSA infections, which could undermine prevention strategies, according to a study published in the American Journal of Infection Control.
For their study, researchers utilized the theoretical framework of causal attribution to 44 staff members from one acute-care hospital and 53 staff members from six care homes. Results showed staff members tended to attribute causes of MRSA infection to external human factors, such as patient risk factors and substandard infection control practices of other employees.
