Abstract:

Objective To analyze the dynamic changes and equity of human resources in county-level centers for disease prevention and control(county-level CDCs) in the non-Pearl River Delta Regions of Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023,and to provide a reference for the construction of talent teams in county-level CDCs. Methods Human resource data of county-level CDCs in the non-Pearl River Delta Region of Guangdong Province from 2019 to 2023 were collected via the "CDC Comprehensive Management System" and subjected to descriptive analysis. Health resources agglomeration degree(HRAD) and population agglomeration degree(PAD) were used to analyze the equity of human resource allocation. Results From 2019 to 2023,the number of on-the-job personnel in county-level CDCs in the non-Pearl River Delta Region increased from 3 102 to 3 432,and the number of county-level CDCs personnel per 10 000 people rose from 0.65 to 0.71. The proportions of personnel aged 0-<35 years,with a bachelor's degree or above,and with senior professional titles increased year by year(all P<0.05),with the number increasing by 50.59%,59.69% and 55.75%,respectively. In the western wing and mountainous areas,the HRAD values were all <1,while the HRAD/PAD values were all >1,indicating that the allocation of human resources was insufficient in terms of geographical area but excessive relative to the population. Conclusion From 2019 to 2023,the total number of personnel in county-level CDCs in the non-Pearl River Delta Region of Guangdong Province increased steadily,and the personnel structure showed a trend of being younger,more highly educated,and having higher professional titles. However,there were problems such as the proportion of technical personnel failing to meet the standard,significant regional differences,and the need to improve the efficiency of human resource allocation in the western wing and mountainous areas. It is suggested that government departments should strengthen policy inclination towards primary-level CDCs in the non-Pearl River Delta Region,implement targeted policies according to the characteristics of different regions,and comprehensively adjust the total staffing based on various factors. CDC administrative departments and CDCs should strengthen talent training and optimize the post structure.
