Abstract：
This study aimed to analyze and gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences pertaining to successful aging in middle-aged women in South Korea. A sample of 12 middle-aged women, capable of sharing their lived experiences, was divided into three age-based groups: those in their 40s, those in their 50s, and those aged 60-65 years. The collected data were analyzed using Colaizzi\'s phenomenological method. Five theme clusters and ten themes emerged. The experiences of successful aging among middle-aged women were categorized as: \"Coping with changes in the mind and body\", \"Financially stable life\", \"Undergoing the aging process with a healthy family\", \"Preparations for dying well\", and \"Pursuing a meaningful, harmonious life\". These findings highlight the need for programs that prepare middle-aged women to positively accept and enjoy older adulthood by identifying and addressing the factors essential for successful aging and reducing any negative emotions attached to aging and older adulthood.
