| dc.description.abstract | There is a substantial body of literature that examines health insurance participation among the general population in Malaysia. However, limited attention has been directed to the involvement of healthcare personnel in Malaysia in relation to their participation in health insurance. The primary aim of this research is to examine the impact of sociodemographic factors, attitude, general perceptions, and perceptions regarding health insurance benefits and ease of claims on the participation in personal health insurance among healthcare personnel in a private and a public hospital in Malaysia. This study employed self-administered questionnaires as the primary data collection instrument. The findings of the study indicate a notable disparity with regard to the participation in personal health insurance between gender, professional category, and healthcare sector that the healthcare personnel work in. Whereas there is no statistically significant difference found between age and length of service in relation to participation in personal health insurance among healthcare personnel. Furthermore, a significant and strong positive correlation exists between individuals' attitude, general perceptions, and perceptions of health insurance benefits, and their likelihood of engaging in personal health insurance. Having said that, collaboration among government bodies, healthcare institutions, and insurance providers in Malaysia is crucial to effectively implement programmes, strategies, and initiatives that aim to improve awareness and comprehension among healthcare personnel in Malaysia regarding the significance of personal health insurance.
