This study aims to explore the successful aging strategies of elderly polio survivors in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. The informant criteria were elderly individuals (minimum 60 years old) based on the classification of the Indonesian Ministry of Health (2020), persons with acquired physical disabilities due to polio, able to communicate well, residing in Sleman, and willing to participate voluntarily. Three elderly polio survivors (two males and one female) were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through semistructured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results showed that the successful aging strategies of elderly polio survivors encompass six aspects, namely self-esteem protection, financial independence as a pillar of self-sovereignty, spirituality as selfacceptance, social engagement, maintaining physical health and fitness, and maintaining cognitive function. This study enriches Crowther's theory (2002) by discovering two additional aspects: selfesteem protection strategy and financial independence strategy as a pillar of self-sovereignty. The three informants were proven to have achieved successful aging, characterized by the ability to manage their physical condition well, having stable financial independence, having strong selfesteem protection, being socially active, having deep spirituality (plong phase), and having sufficiently sharp memory and clear thinking.158.3 Psikologi Konseling, Penyuluhan, Bimbingan KonselingDISABILITAS2026-04-30UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU SOSIAL DAN HUMANIORAThesis
