Abstract

Purpose: The current study examined the mediating effect of the meaning of work in the relationship between quality of life and experiences with ageism and social exclusion among working older adults.

Method: A cross-sectional correlational design was used. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires between October 1 and November 30, 2019, and were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression.

Results: Quality of life correlated positively with the meaning of work and inversely with experiencing ageism and social exclusion. Meaning of work partially affected ageism's and social exclusion's respective relationships with quality of life.

Conclusion: Nursing interventions (to improve older adults' quality of life) could include strategies to reduce working older adults' ageism experiences and social exclusion and enhance the meaning of their work. Findings contribute to providing data for developing industrial nursing policies and guidelines to maximize the quality of life of working older adults.

工作意义、年龄歧视经验、社会排斥与工作长者的生活品质。

目的：本研究旨在探讨工作意义在老年人生活质量与年龄歧视和社会排斥经历之间的中介作用。方法：采用横断面相关设计。在2019年10月1日至11月30日期间，采用自填问卷收集数据，并使用Pearson相关系数和多元线性回归进行分析。结果：生活质量与工作意义正相关，与经历年龄歧视和社会排斥负相关。工作意义部分影响了年龄歧视和社会排斥各自与生活质量的关系。结论：护理干预（以改善老年人的生活质量）可以包括减少工作老年人的年龄歧视经历和社会排斥，提高他们的工作意义的策略。研究结果有助于为制定工业护理政策和指导方针提供数据，以最大限度地提高工作老年人的生活质量。老年护理杂志，xx(x), xx-xx。
