Abstract

Finansal sağlık
durumu, bireyin 4-5 yaş aralığı ile başlayan 20’li yaşlara kadar devam eden
finansal sosyalizasyon sürecini, 20’li yaşlardan sonra üniversite hayatındaki
finansal eğitim sürecini, bireyin kendi finansal tutumlarını ve
farkındalıklarını kapsayan çok boyutlu ve bu boyutların birbirine bağlı olduğu
karmaşık bir ifadedir. Beslenme alışkanlıkları ve yaşam biçimi gibi davranışlar
nasıl bireyin sağlığına direkt etki yapıyorsa, bu faktörler de bireyin ekonomik
yaşantısına olumlu ya da olumsuz etki yapmaktadır. Bireyin çalışma hayatına
başlamadan önceki son basamağıdır üniversite eğitimi. Dolayısıyla bu eğitim süresince
öğrencilerin maddi ihtiyaçlarını nasıl karşıladıkları, borçlanma durumları,
gelir gider yönetimini yaparken aileden aldığı finansal deneyimleri ve genel
finansal tutumlarının belirlenmesi gelecek adına hem birey için hem de ekonomik
kapasite için önem arz etmektedir. Özellikle de ekonomik ve sosyal imkânların
kısmen yeterli olduğu bölgelerde öğrencilerin yaşadıkları finansal zorlukların
belirlenmesi de gelecek nesil adına ayrı bir önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmada,
Gümüşhane Üniversitesinde eğitim almakta olan 421 öğrenciye anket uygulaması
yapılarak öğrencilerin finansal sağlık durumlarının tespit edilmesi
amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmelerde öğrencilerin borçlanma durumlarına
bağlı olarak bir takım hem finansal hem de akademik stres ve endişe yaşadıkları
gözlemlenmiştir.
