Lack of understanding and cravenness are base among parents of children with the drug-resistant staph bacteria called MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), says a remodelled study. Health worry staff desideratum to do a better job of educating parents while addressing their concerns and easing their fears, said the researchers at the Johns Hopkins Children Center in Baltimore online. The swot authors conducted interviews with 100 parents and other caregivers of children hospitalized with unusual or established MRSA.
Some of the children were symptom-free carriers who were hospitalized for other reasons, while others had nimble MRSA infections. The researchers found that 18 of the parents/caregivers had never heard of MRSA.
