Data were analyzed with SPSS 26.0 and 95 confidence level was used. The relationship between the scale scores was analyzed by Pearson Correlation Test, independent samples t test was used to analyze the scale scores in terms of variables with 2 groups, and ANOVA test was used to analyze the scale scores in terms of variables with 3 or more groups.

 Yaşlanma ve emeklilikle birlikte bireylerde düşük gelir başta olmak üzere çeşitli nedenlerle sosyal dışlanma artmakta ve yaşam kalitesi azalmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, 60 yaş ve üzeri emekli bireylerde sosyal dışlanma ve yaşam kalitesi arasındaki ilişki ile sosyal dışlanma ve yaşam kalitesinin yaşlıların sosyo-demografik özelliklerine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının incelenmesidir. Araştırma nicel yöntemli olup veriler 356 emekli bireyden yüz yüze görüşmelerle elde edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen Emekli Bilgi Formu ile Yaşlılarda Sosyal Dışlanma Ölçeği YSDÖ ve Yaşlılarda Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği YYKÖ kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 26.0 ile yapılmıştır ve 95 güven düzeyinde çalışılmıştır. Ölçek puanları arasındaki ilişki Pearson Korelasyon Testi, ölçek puanlarının 2 gruplu değişkenler açısından incelenmesi bağımsız gruplar t testi, 3 ve daha fazla gruplu değişkenler açısından incelenmesi ANOVA testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre sosyal dışlanma ile yaşam kalitesi arasında negatif yönlü güçlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır r-,689, p .05. YSDÖ ve YYKÖ ve alt boyutları sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre anlamlı ölçüde farklılaşmaktadır. 60 yaş ve üzeri emekli bireylerde yaşam kalitesi azaldıkça sosyal dışlanma artmaktadır. Sosyal dışlanma cinsiyet, yaş, medeni durum, eğitim durumu, ikamet edilen yer, birlikte yaşanılan kişiler, emeklilik süresi, emeklilik maaşı, gelir kaynakları ve yalnız hissetme durumuna göre anlamlı düzeyde farklılaşmaktadır.
