To this end, focus group interviews were conducted with 11 retired middle-aged people between the ages of 50 and 64, and thematic analysis was used to explore the meaning and strategy of the social participation process. As a result of the study, 6 themes and 23 sub-themes were derived. The themes are ‘My expectations of a young man with a young heart: the emergence of worries and expectations’, ‘Incomplete fulfillment of social integration’, ‘The second phase of life: showcasing one’s strengths’, ‘Social activities that fulfill specific desires’, ‘Exploration: embracing new challenges and breaking away from established paths’, ‘The importance of social support for a fresh start’. Based on the results of this study, we expanded the interest in social participation of the retired middle-aged and made practical suggestions for successful social participation. Based on the results of this study, I extended the interest of retired middle-aged people in social participation and made practical suggestions for successful social participation.
