– Filariasis (elephantiasis) is a tropical disease and is pendemic in many regions in Indonesia. Filariasis is caused by transmission of microorganisms through mosquito bites. Although filariasis is not lethal, the resulting physical disability will lead to psychological pressures of the sufferers, such as: depression, anxiety, demotivation, lack of productivity and social interest. While psychosocial responses of the sufferers could be negative or positive, the positive response is believed to assist the sufferers in achieving well-being. The purpose of this study was to describe the psychosocial and well-being responses of filariasis patients. This study used in-depth interviews to two participants, approached through purposive sampling. The results emerged in four categories: 1). not excluded, 2). optimistic, 3). negative impact, and 4). social relations. The study concludes that physical disability experieced by the participants resulted in being dependent to others, which led to negative social treatment. However, participants achieved well-being from the fact that they were not excluded by their family; this gained a sense of optimistic and social interest to relate with their environment. Abstrak — Filariasis (kaki gajah) merupakan penyakit tropis yang sangat umum terjadi di beberapa daerah di Indonesia. Filariasis disebabkan oleh penularan mikroorganisme melalui gigitan nyamuk. Meskipun filariasis tidak mengakibatkan kematian, kecacatan yang ditimbulkan dapat berdampak pada tekanan psikologis penderita, seperti: depresi, kecemasan, demotivasi, serta melemahnya produktivitas dan minat sosial. Respons psikososial penderita dapat berupa pemikiran negatif dan positif. Pemikiran positif ini mampu mengarahkan penderita untuk mencapai kesejahteraan psikologis. Tujuan penelitian ini ialah untuk mendeskripsikan respons psikososial dan kesejahteraan psikologis (well-being) pada pasien filariasis. Penelitian ini menggunakan wawancara mendalam terhadap dua partisipan yang direkrut melalui teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian ini terangkum dalam empat kategori, yaitu: 1). tidak dikucilkan, 2). optimis, 3). dampak negatif, dan 4). hubungan sosial. Dari studi ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa  kecacatan yang dialami partisipan akibat filariasis mengakibatkan dirinya bergantung terhadap orang lain serta mendapat perlakuan negatif dari lingkungannya. Meskipun demikian, kesejahteraan psikologis yang dicapai partisipan dipengaruhi oleh kondisi bahwa ia tidak dikucilkan oleh lingkungan keluarganya sehingga memunculkan rasa optimis dan minat sosial. Hal itu memotivasi partisipan untuk terus menjalin relasi sosial dengan lingkungan yang lebih luas.
