Abstract

Objective: This pilot study examines the perceived value of financial education and whether a brief didactic intervention improves financial confidence and sense of well-being for attending and resident psychiatrists.

Methods: An anonymous survey was administered to attending and resident psychiatrists before and after a brief seminar on common financial topics. Aggregate data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Unpaired t-tests were used to compare the pre- and post-seminar data due to anonymity of responses and high attrition rate.

Results: Of the 36 participants (14 men and 22 women) who completed the pre-seminar survey, 7 (19%) had student loans, 30 (83%) had no prior financial education, 33 (92%) considered financial literacy valuable, and 28 (78%) believed that finances were related to wellness. Financial confidence was normally distributed and averaged 54% of the possible maximum. Men trended toward higher financial confidence (p = 0.06). Financial confidence was not associated with age, race, level of training, or debt. Burnout was generally low in this cohort. No significant differences in the perceived value of financial literacy, relationship between finances and wellness, or financial confidence before and after the financial seminar were identified (p = 0.37), though the post-seminar survey had only 14 (39%) respondents.

Conclusions: Although the power of this study was insufficient to demonstrate an association between formal didactics and improvement in financial confidence and burnout, psychiatrists perceive significant value in such education. Findings additionally suggest possible gender differences in financial confidence, reflecting larger systemic inequities in physician financial wellness.

一分钱学会了:城市社区医院精神科医生财务信心与健康的试点研究。
目的:本初步研究考察财务教育的感知价值,以及简短的教学干预是否能提高主治和住院精神科医生的财务信心和幸福感。方法:对出席和住院精神科医生进行匿名调查,在一个关于常见财务话题的简短研讨会前后。汇总数据采用描述性统计进行分析。由于反应匿名性和高流失率,使用非配对t检验来比较研讨会前后的数据。结果:在完成研讨会前调查的36名参与者(14名男性和22名女性)中,7人(19%)有学生贷款,30人(83%)之前没有接受过金融教育,33人(92%)认为金融知识很重要,28人(78%)认为财务与健康有关。财务信心呈正态分布,平均为可能最大值的54%。男性倾向于更高的财务信心(p = 0.06)。财务信心与年龄、种族、训练水平或债务无关。在这个队列中,倦怠感普遍较低。虽然研讨会后的调查只有14名(39%)受访者,但在金融知识的感知价值、财务与健康之间的关系或金融信心方面,研讨会前后没有发现显著差异(p = 0.37)。结论:虽然这项研究的力量不足以证明正式教学与财务信心和倦怠的改善之间的联系,但精神科医生认为这种教育具有重要的价值。研究结果还表明,在财务信心方面可能存在性别差异,反映了医生财务健康方面更大的系统性不平等。
