Abstract
- Objective The objective of this study was to identify the relationships among people's perceived financial status to cope with severe disease, levels of anxiety and determinations of life. Study design This is a secondary analysis of population-based cross-sectional surveys. Methods The 2016 Social Integration Survey of 8000 Korean participants aged 19 years or older was used. Data were analysed using correlation, correspondence and covariate analyses. Results Of all the participants, 84.6% responded that they had insufficient perceptions of financial status; decision-making power was found to have a stronger correlation with perceived financial stability than with real income. In addition, the perceived ability, based on financial status, to cope with severe disease was correlated with anxiety. Conclusions The study proposes that when developing health and medical treatment policy and intervention programmes, perceptions of personal financial status and stability should be considered concurrently.
