Abstract :This study investigates cryptocurrency knowledge, risk perception, and investment strategies among İstanbul Provincial Health Directorate employees. Analyzing data from 399 participants using the Cryptocurrency investment Trust Scale, which is developed by Ozyesil and Tembelo (2023), results indicate limited cryptocurrency awareness, moderate risk perception, and conservative investment tendencies. While most participants have heard of cryptocurrency, their understanding remains shalloyv, perceiving it as high-risk and favoring traditional financial instruments. The study emphasizes the necessity of educational initiatives and regulatory frameworks to facilitate safe and compliant cryptocurrency usage within the healthcare sector.
