Purpose: This study aimed to survey health care personnel`s education experience, the characteristics of tuberculosis rooms and sputum collection rooms as environmental measures, and the wearing of respiratory protective equipment (mask),
Methods: This cross-sectional survey with self-administered questionnaire was done with 163 persons in charge of tuberculosis from each of 246 public health centers (PHC5) throughout the country in 2006. The questionnaire was composed of subjects` general characteristics, education and medical examination for personnel in charge of tuberculosis, the facility characteristics of tuberculosis rooms and sputum collection rooms, mask wearing.
Results: Only 9.2% of respondents had experience in education on infection control. 79.2% had a separate tuberculosis room, and more than half had ventilation fans. Only 13.5% of the PHC had a separate sputum collection room, and most of the institutions used the bathroom as a place for collecting sputum, None of them always put on masks during consulting tuberculosis patients, and only 2% used a mask intermittently,
Conclusion: Although PHCs have concentrated on preventing and controlling local residents` infectious diseases, their efforts on infection control for personnel in charge of tuberculosis control have been very unsatisfactory, and we recommend to wear masks.
