Participants completed a digital questionnaire consisting of two sections: a general information section that collected demographic and occupational data (age, gender, educational level, work experience, TB screening experience, and training frequency) and a KAP assessment section that evaluated LTBI screening competencies through 25 knowledge items, 7 attitude items and 18 practice items. Observation indicators included knowledge scores (0\u201325; passing \u2265\u00a020), attitude scores (7\u201335; passing \u2265\u00a028), and practice scores (18\u201390; passing \u2265\u00a072).
