AB - The purpose of this study is based on the progress of aging and life-sustaining treatment, recognizing to make meaningless decision to stop life extension, etc. Decision making to life-saving treatment of patient at the end of life. In the course of over a year since the implementation of the Act on Decisions on Life-Sustaining Treatment, which was enacted to respect patients' self-determination and securing the best profit for the patient, prior research and National Agency for Management of Statistics of Life-Sustaining Treatment were discussed. I tried to find a problem that appeared in the process of analyzing the life extension decision method and to explore its development direction.
Act on Decisions on Life-Sustaining Treatment is not only when the patient has an explicit intention, such as the Advance Statement on Life-Sustaining Treatment or the Life-Sustaining Treatment Plan, but more than one family member of the patient. This patient is usually We do not want life prolongation of life expectancy, even if there is agreement of the whole family, we can stop life-prolonging medical care. And, looking at the current status of the decision-making system of life-long medical treatment that was given in the past 11 months, it was decided based on the intention of the patient's family more when life-saving medical care was made based on the decision of the patient himself / herself If you occupy more than twice. Although such a phenomenon can be regarded as the influence of Korean culture mainly of families, it is thought that it is a false proof that complementation to make it possible to secure a patient self determination more properly.
