A total of 313 questionnaires were issued, 311 were recovered, and 311 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 99.36%. The General Information Questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory Generalized Scale (MBI-GS) were used to collect social demographic data and the occurrence of occupational burnout, analyze the occurrence degree of occupational burnout, and identify the influencing factors of the occurrence degree of occupational burnout by using the orderly multiple logistic regression model. Results: Among 311 tuberculosis prevention and control medical staff, the total detection rate of occupational burnout was 62.70% (195/311), and the detection rates of mild, moderate and severe occupational burnout were 22.19% (69/311), 38.59% (120/311) and 1.93% (6/311), respectively. Orderly multiple logistic regression analysis showed that medical staff in prevention and control positions (OR=1.616, 95% CI: 1.030-2.534, P=0.037) and not meeting expectations for title promotion (OR=2.969, 95%CI: 1.675-5.262, P<0.001), and not getting along well with colleagues (OR=2.177, 95%CI: 1.362-3.480, P=0.001) were the main factors affecting the occurrence and severity of occupational burnout among tuberculosis prevention and treatment medical staff.
