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.
