Thus to make recommendations to reduce burnout, then to improve the quality of tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods:Cross-sectional surveys were conducted during April 25 to May 10, 2021. All the medical staff in Beijing Institute of Tuberculosis Control and prevention and tuberculosis control agencies in 16 districts of Beijing completed the anonymous online structured self-filled questionnaire. The questionnaire included the Maslach Burnout Survey Generalized Scale (MBI-GS) and general information. Logistic stepwise regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of its three dimensions of burnout. Results:A total of 313 questionnaires were distributed, and 311 were valid, with an effective rate of 99.36%. Among 311 practitioners, 81 (26.05%) were male and 230 (73.95%) were female, with an average of (41.12±9.84) years old, 195 (62.70%) positive cases of burnout, 202 (64.95%) cases of reduced personal accomplishment, 144 (46.30%) cases of depersonalization, 192 (61.74%) cases of emotional exhaustion. The logistic multiple regression analysis of three dimensions of burnout among the practitioners showed that medical staff in prevention and control positions (OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.26-3.55) were more likely to experience reduced personal accomplishment in their work; medical staff who working in TB for ≥10 years (OR=2.21,95%CI:1.34-3.64), exercising less than 3 hours per week (OR=1.71, 95%CI:1.04-2.82), not meeting expectations for promotion (OR=3.09,95%CI:1.79-5.33), and not getting along well with colleagues (OR=2.70, 95%CI:1.43-5.08) were more likely to experience depersonalization; those who sleep <6 hours per day (OR=1.85, 95%CI: 1.02-3.37), did not meet expectations for title promotion (OR=1.84, 95%CI: 1.11-3.05), did not get along with colleagues (OR=2.68, 95%CI: 1.34-5.35) more likely to experience emotional exhaustion among medical staff. Conclusion:High burnout rate was detected in medical stall for tuberculosis control in Beijing. Those in prevention and control positions are more likely to have reduced personal accomplishment.
