Abstract: Objective To learn the currant human resource status for tuberculosis(TB) control and prevention in Heilongjiang province, and to provide evidence for improving human resources development.Methods According to the annual report of the TB Information Management System of Heilongjiang province in 2012, there were 1520 TB control staff in Heilongjiang province. The reported data were collected and analyzed. χ² test was used to compare the difference of rate among groups. P<0.05 was statistically significant. For multiple comparison among several groups, P<0.0125 was statistically significant.Results The proportion of TB control staff with undergraduate degree or above accounted for 66.67% (36/54) at provincial level, 42.99% (92/214) at prefecture level and 18.29%(229/1252) at county level. The proportion at province level was much higher than that at prefecture level (χ²=9.69, P<0.01), which was significantly higher than county level (χ²=65.20, P<0.01). The proportion of senior TB control staff accounted for 18.52% (10/54) at provincial level, 26.64% (57/214) at prefecture level and 12.70% (159/1252) at county level. The proportion at prefecture level was much higher than county level (χ²=28.25, P<0.01). The proportion of TB control staff in training, health education and statistics analysis was less than 10% (9.14%,139/1520). The Gini coefficient of TB control staff were 0.18 by population and 0.41 by area.Conclusion TB control staff with high education was insufficient. The distribution of TB control staff according to service area is higher than the alarm value. Therefore the human resource for TB control needs to be strengthened urgently.
