Abstract: Objective To understand the research status of TB prevention and control work of village doctors in China.Methods A literature review method was used to search paper with key words of “village doctors”, “tuberculosis” or “rural doctors”,“tuberculosis” from CNKI and PubMed, 448 literatures were retrieved. News, letters, comments, editorials, information science articles were excluded and duplicates or articles unrelated to tuberculosis prevention and control of rural doctors were stripped out. Twenty-four articles were enrolled eventually. We sort those articles from village doctor’s discovery and management of TB patients, the awareness of TB related knowledge of village doctors, incentive policy, and health education.Results Most of the articles used survey methods. An article reviewed how village doctors detect suspicious TB patients. An article used the comparison study to evaluate TB knowledge training effect of village doctors, while an article used community intervention trial. In the included articles, only two from provincial funds supported projects, 13 from the Global Fund and other international cooperation projects.Conclusion Current research reveals that the discovery of suspect TB patients and TB patients management are low for village doctors. We should strengthen the funding input and attention to village doctors. It’s necessary to study the situation of TB infection and TB prevalence of village doctors.
