Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Inadequate tuberculosis (TB) knowledge and awareness of proper TB control practices among health care workers (HCWs) may increase the risk of nosocomial TB transmission. This study aimed to assess HCWs\' TB-related knowledge and control practices to guide the development of more effective targeted TB health education and training programs.
METHODS: In January 2023 a cross-sectional survey was administered to 323 HCWs employed by five primary health care centers and three secondary comprehensive medical institutions in Beijing, China. Survey data were collected using a standard questionnaire.
RESULTS: Analysis of survey responses revealed TB knowledge and practices awareness rates of 60.4% and 90.6%, respectively. The overall average awareness rate across all 19 TB knowledge- and practice-related questions was 70.0%. Intermediate- and senior-level HCW\'s average TB knowledge score was respectively 2.225 and 8.175 times higher than that of primary-level HCWs, while the average TB knowledge score of HCWs in secondary comprehensive medical institutions was 3.052 times higher than that of HCWs in primary health care centers. Higher average TB knowledge score correlated with higher-level professional titles and higher level work units, but higher average TB control practices score correlated with employment at primary health care center rather than secondary comprehensive medical institution. Notably, 13.6% of HCWs had not received TB training during the past three years, while 86.1% expressed willingness to undergo online TB training.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings highlight inadequate TB knowledge and awareness of proper TB control practices among HCWs in primary health care centers and secondary comprehensive medical institutions in Beijing, underscoring the urgent need for targeted educational and training initiatives to improve TB awareness and control efforts.

摘要：
目标：卫生保健工作者（HCWs）对结核病（TB）的知识和对正确的结核病控制实践的认识不足可能会增加医院结核病传播的风险。本研究旨在评估与结核病相关的知识和控制实践，以指导制定更有效的有针对性的结核病健康教育和培训计划。
方法：2023年1月，对北京5家初级卫生保健中心和3家二级综合医疗机构聘用的323名医护人员进行了横断面调查，中国。使用标准问卷收集调查数据。
结果：对调查答复的分析显示，结核病知识和实践知晓率分别为60.4%和90.6%，分别。所有19项结核病知识和实践相关问题的总体平均知晓率为70.0%。中级和高级HCW的平均结核病知识得分分别比初级HCW高2.225和8.175倍，而二级综合医疗机构的HCWs的结核病知识平均得分比初级卫生保健中心的HCWs高3.052倍。与较高水平的职称和较高水平的工作单位相关的结核病知识平均得分较高，但较高的结核病控制实践平均得分与初级卫生保健中心而非二级综合医疗机构的就业相关.值得注意的是,13.6%的医护人员在过去三年没有接受结核病培训，86.1%表示愿意接受在线结核病培训。
结论：这些发现突出了北京初级卫生保健中心和二级综合医疗机构的医护人员对结核病的知识和对适当结核病控制实践的认识不足，强调迫切需要有针对性的教育和培训举措，以提高对结核病的认识和控制努力。
