Abstract: Objective　To explore the necessity, basic requirements, and key elements for establishing a multi-disciplinary biopsychosocial care model for tuberculosis (TB-MBCM) in China.Methods　After reviewing the literature and assessing the current situation, they adopted a mixed research design to carry out a mixed study on the target theme, which included a questionnaire survey of frontline medical staff and semi-structured qualitative interviews with medical staff and patients.Results　Among healthcare providers, 96.0% recognized the need for a TB-MBCM. They emphasized the importance of infection control, explaining treatment plans clearly, and offering psychological support in patient interactions. The majority of healthcare providers reported suboptimal professional experiences, particularly regarding the doctor-patient relationship which had always been hindered by poor treatment adherence and patients' limited understanding of TB and its treatment. In the qualitative interviews, medical staff suggested improving the doctor-patient relationship by increasing patience, enhancing communication, and strengthening psychological and humanistic care. On the patient side, some reported negative emotions and feelings of stigma, with insufficient awareness of the disease's impact on mental health. Opinions among patients on the necessity of TB-MBCM varied.Conclusion　Under policy support, multidisciplinary resources should be integrated to further refine the construction and implementation pathways of TB-MBCM, ultimately improving the overall health outcomes for TB patients.
