Objectives:

The average age of European health workers is increasing, with high physical and mental demands, which affects their quality of life. Health and wellness interventions seem necessary. To assess whether the perceived quality of life of health workers is improved after an intervention and whether it is more effective depending on variables such as the job.

Material and Methods:

prospective intervention study; population: workers equal to or older than 45 years who work in a tertiary hospital; methods: “Age management and change of habits” program, variables: SF-12 questionnaire, CSF-12 and CSM-12 and personal and work variables.

Results:

after the intervention, a significant increase in CSM-12 was only observed in administrative workers compared to the professional categories of health type (53.6 ± 6.85 vs 47.5 ± 7.92, p = 0.036).

Conclusions:

intervention programs about age management at the workplaces could be useful.
