Community-level TB HCWs (3.872 \u00b1 0.842) had better PCC skills than village-level HCWs (3.748 \u00b1 0.860). The Habit 4 (Invest in the End) dimension which required more TB treatment knowledge had the lowest scores across four dimensions at both levels. Factors associated with higher 4-HCS scores included positive working attitudes, high working satisfaction, more years of TB working experience, and being from the community level (all\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Chinese version of the 4-HCS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing PCC skills among TB HCWs in PHC settings.
