本文探讨是否,以及在何种程度上,全国性报纸的消息符合公众对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的看法。它比较了关于MRSA的媒体信息的研究与从大伦敦地区采访的60人的人口统计学上多样化的样本中收集的采访数据。在整个采访样本中,有一个共同的共识,即大多数人认为MRSA与抗生素使用史无关,而是与肮脏和管理不善的医院有关。一些媒体信息,例如将MRSA归咎于所谓的NHS“管理文化”,似乎抓住了时代精神,而其他人,特别是MRSA的“名人受害者”,似乎没有引起观众的共鸣。这项研究还发现,基于对细菌理论和免疫系统的科学理解的想法与瘴气理论等民间传说一起举行。因此,媒体和思想的比较表明,在公众头脑中存在着对细菌、传染和指责的前科学理解,与生物医学故事平行。这些发现有助于我们了解公众和患者对这种感染的看法。
This paper explores whether, and to what extent, national newspaper messages tally with public perceptions about meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It compares research on media messages about MRSA with interview data gathered from a demographically diverse sample of 60 people interviewed from the Greater London area. Across the interview sample there was a shared consensus that most people associated MRSA not with the history of antibiotic use, but with dirty and poorly managed hospitals. Some media messages, such as blaming MRSA on the alleged ‘management culture’ of the NHS, seemed to capture the Zeitgeist, whereas others, in particular the ‘celebrity victims’ of MRSA, did not seem to resonate with the audience. This study also found that ideas based on scientific understandings about germ theory and the immune system were held alongside folklore such as miasmic theory. The comparison of media and mind thus points to the existence of pre-scientific understandings of germs, contagion and blame in parallel with the biomedical story in the minds of the public. The findings contribute to our understanding of the public and patients' views of this infection.
