Abstract:

Objective To study the differences in the construction of infectious disease monitoring and early warning talents among different institutions in Xicheng District of Beijing,in order to provide scientific guidance for infectious disease monitoring and early warning training in Xicheng District. Methods A total of 289 public health professionals working in 38 medical institutions and public health institutions in Xicheng District of Beijing from September to October 2024 were selected as the research subjects,including 72 in medical institutions,172 in community health service centers,and 45 in disease prevention and control centers. A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the current status of monitoring and early warning work,the capability and quality of the talent team,training and development of the talent team,and the working environment and compensation of the talent team,and to analyze the differences in the investigation of monitoring and early warning work in different institutions. Results Among public health personnel in Xicheng District of Beijing,several indicators were found to be at a low level:the frequency of engaging in infectious disease surveillance and early warning work(52.60%),special training on infectious risk assessment methods(12.80%),model usage(4.84%),experience in emergency response(29.07%),participation in national(3.11%) and municipal training(7.61%),and understanding of relevant policies and regulations on the construction of infectious disease surveillance and early warning personnel(60.01%). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of job burnout among nurses with different age,marriage age,technical titles,childbearing status and number of monthly night shifts(all P<0.05).Statistically significant differences were found among personnel from medical institutions,community health service centers,and Beijing Xicheng District Center for Disease Control and Prevention regarding the importance of infectious disease monitoring and early warning work,the frequency of engaging in infectious disease monitoring and early warning work,receiving specialized training in infectious disease monitoring and early warning,levels of mastery of knowledge related to epidemiology,etiology,and statistics,usage of statistical software(SPSS,SAS),frequency of risk assessments,use of risk assessment method(Delphi method,risk matrix method,time series models),use of infectious disease prediction models(cumulative sum charts,control charts),emergency response experience and capabilities,participation in relevant training at national and provincial levels,training content(data analysis techniques,model prediction techniques),training formats(case studies),involvement in provincial monitoring and early warning teams,attendance at academic exchanges and continuing education activities of infectious disease monitoring and early warning,participation in writing or reviewing of analysis reports related to infectious disease monitoring and early warning work,satisfaction with current welfare and benefits levels,equipment and facility conditions of their institutions,overall job satisfaction,and awareness of policies and regulations regarding the construction of infectious disease monitoring and early warning talent teams(all P<0.05). Conclusion The overall capabilities of risk assessment,emergency response and data analysis for infectious disease surveillance and early warning of public health personnel in Xicheng District of Beijing are relatively weak. The data analysis and training capabilities of medical institutions,as well as the risk assessment and emergency response capabilities of disease control and prevention centers,have certain advantages. It is suggested to leverage the advantages of various levels of institutions in the future to effectively enhance the quality and level of the infectious disease monitoring and early warning talent team in Xicheng District.
