Exploring the Financial Experience of Physical Therapists in Thailand
Abstract
This study aims to examine the financial skills of physiotherapists in Thailand through a quantitative research approach. The sample consisted of 175 physiotherapists residing in Thailand. A questionnaire was employed to gather opinions regarding their financial experiences, and data were analyzed and hypotheses tested using statistical measures such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Chi-Square. The results showed that most respondents were female (138 individuals, 78.56%), and a majority were under 30 years of age (62.29%). Most participants held a bachelor’s degree (88.00%) and primarily worked in government hospitals (37.71%). The majority had less than five years of work experience (62.68%) and earned a monthly income between 20,001 and 40,000 baht (59.43%). Additionally, 55.43% of respondents reported having debt. Hypothesis testing revealed that expense planning was associated with age, work experience, monthly income, and debt status. Investment was found to be related to gender and debt status, while borrowing was associated with age, work experience, monthly income, and debt status. Insurance practices were significantly related to age, job type, and work experience.
