치매국가책임제와 의사결정지원제도

초록

Dementia is not a problem just for the parties or their families. Accordingly, as a social response to dementia, the National Dementia Comprehensive Plan has passed the first and second rounds and is in the process of practice the third plan. In addition, newly started Moon's Government specified national response and responsibility for dementia and implemented the National Responsibility System for Dementia. However, the contents of dementia policies still recognize the elderly as subjects of protection rather than as human beings with capacity with self decision making. Disability means a condition in which physical and mental damage or loss of function over a long period of time results in significant constraints on an individual's daily or social life, and in this view elderly with dementia also fall into the category of disabled people. Therefore, elderly with dementia also should be able to enjoy legal ability, especially self-determination rights in all areas of life just like others. This paper proposed the need for decision support for the elderly with dementia through various dementia-related measures and foreign examples.
