본 논문은 호주의 국가정신보건전략에 대한 주요 내용과 국가정신보건전략을 통한 정신보건개혁 이후의 변화들, 그리고 정신보건개혁에 대한 논의를 통해서 우리나라의 정신보건정책의 문제점들을 개선하기 위한 현실적인 시사점과 융복합 정책적 함의를 찾는데 그 목적이 있다. 1992년에 발표되어 2008년에 개정된 국가정신보건정책, 1993년부터 2014년까지 네 차례에 걸쳐 수립된 국가정신보건 5개년 계획, 2006년 호주정부협의회에 의해 수립된 정신보건실행계획, 그리고 2012년 호주정부협의회에서 채택한 국가정신보건개혁을 위한 로드맵(2012-2022)을 포함한 국가정신보건전략은 지난 20년 동안 호주의 정신보건개혁의 광범위한 과정을 선도하는 대단히 중요한 정책 준거를 제공하였다. 1992년 시작된 국가정신보건전략을 통해서 정신보건재정 확충, 지역사회 중심의 치료 및 보호시스템 구축, 정신병상의 변화, NGO의 참여와 역할의 증대, 정신장애인과 가족(보호제공자)의 참여 확대 등과 같은 변화를 이루었다.

Korea's healthcare is in great danger of sustainability. In 2020, the baby boomer will begin to be older, and there is no promise that the total fertility rate of 1.0 or less will rebound, and Korea's economic growth rate is predicted to be less than 2%. Together with these phenomena, Plan for Benefit Expansion in Nation Health Insurance (Moon Jae-in Care) will seriously threaten the sustainability of health insurance finance. In addition, health care in Korea has many problems: excessive medical utilization, rapidly increasing elderly medical costs, concentrating patients into big hospitals, low healthcare personnel but many healthcare facilities and equipment, bad quality of primary and mental care, and fast-growing health expenditure. For sustainability, healthcare of Korea should be reformed. The direction of the reform is people-centered and integrated healthcare in the community which is composed of empowering and engaging people, strengthening governance and accountability, reorienting the model of care, coordinating services, and creating an enabling environment.

The current 52-hour workweek in South Korea consists of 40 hours of regular work and 12 hours of overtime. Although the average working hours in South Korea is declining, it is still 199 hours longer than the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development average of 1,716 hours per year. In view to this, the South Korean government has now proposed to reform the workweek, mainly intending to increase the workweek to 69 hours when the workload is heavy. This reform, by increasing the labor intensity due to long working hours, goes against the global trend of reducing work hours for a safe and healthy working environment. Long working hours can lead to increased cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, industrial accidents, mental health problems, and safety accidents due to lack of concentration. In conclusion, the Korean government's working hour reform plan can have a negative impact on workers' health, and therefore it should be thoroughly reviewed and modified.

Korea has failed to respond to the Middle East respiratory syndrome of 2015 and the early phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) of 2020. This is due to the structural problems of the Ministry of Health and Welfare that has been more increased manpower and budgets of the welfare part relative to those of the health part, and the ministers were appointed welfare experts, not health experts. In 21 (56.8%) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, the Ministry of Health operates independently, and these countries have been relatively well coping with COVID-19. The importance of the Korean health sector is increasing even further. Korea faces on the emerging infectious diseases, chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis that has been being a huge burden, and rapidly increasing non-communicable diseases, suicide and mental disorders, and some diseases due to fine dust and climate change. In addition, the rapid advancement of the aging society, the entry of an era of ultra-low fertility and low-economic growth, and the unification of the Korean peninsula are calling for a health policy reform. Therefore, the Ministry of Health should be established and systematically responsible for health policy, disease policy, medical policy, and medical security policy. Ministry of Health will be the control tower for K-Disease Control, K-Bio, and K-Health.

의사결정능력이 저하된 자가 필요한 의료서비스를 거부하거나 적절히 의사를 표현하지 못하는 경우, 외부로부터의 후견주의적·예방적 개입이 언제 정당화될 수 있는지에 대한 규범적 판단이 쟁점이 된다. 이러한 어려움은 정신의료에서의 비자의 입원의 경우 더욱 명확하게 드러나며, 국내에서는 전통적으로 '정신질환의 존재'와 '자타해 위험'을 주된 요건으로 하는 정신건강복지법에 근거하여 비자의 입원을 시행해 왔다. 그러나 2011년 민법 개정으로 민법상 후견제도를 통한 비자의 입원의 방식이 새롭게 도입되며, 국내의 비자의 입원은 형식상 이원화된 체계를 갖추게 되었다. 이때, 후견제도를 통한 비자의 입원은 당사자에게 '의사결정능력의 저하'가 있고, 개입이 '당사자의 복리 증진'에 부합할 것을 실행의 요건으로 한다는 점에서 정신건강복지법에 근거한 비자의 입원과 그 목적과 성질을 달리한다. 정신적 능력이 저하된 당사자에 대한 비자의 입원이 이처럼 정신보건법을 통한 방식과 후견제도를 통한 방식으로 이원화되는 양상은 해외에서도 유사한 양상으로 전개되었다. 그러나 대상자가 고령화되어 정신질환과 신체질환의 치료가 동시에 이루어지는 경우가 많아지고 정신질환과 신체질환의 구분이 모호한 노인성 정신질환의 문제가 대두됨에 따라, 민법상 '최선의 이익-대리의사결정' 패러다임과 정신보건법상의 '사회방위-예방적 구금' 패러다임이 정신장애인에 대한 법적 규율 영역에서 중첩되고 서로 충돌하는 현상이 발생하기 시작했다. 해외에서는 이러한 이원화된 체계가 비효율적이고 형평성에도 어긋난다는 지적이 이어졌으며, 나아가 '정신질환'이 있을 것을 근거로 하여 후견주의적·예방적 개입을 정당화하는 정신보건 법제의 비자의 입원 요건은 정신장애인에 대한 부당한 차별에 해당한다는 비판도 꾸준히 이루어졌다. 이에 해외에서는 '의사능력'을 기초로 후견제도와 정신보건 법제를 융합(fusion)하여, 능력이 저하된 개인에 대한 후견적·예방적 개입을 일관되게 규율하고자 하는 시도가 이루어졌다. 이는 의사능력 저하자의 신체질환과 정신질환에 대한 의료서비스 제공을 동일한 체계 속에서 할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 단지 '정신장애'를 지니고 있다는 것만으로 차별적으로 대우하는 정신보건법의 한계를 극복하는 것이기도 했다. 본 연구에서는 의사능력을 기반으로 후견제도와 정신보건법을 융합(fusion)하여 정신의료 서비스 체계를 새롭게 재구성한 전 세계 최초의 사례인 영국 북아일랜드 정신능력법(Mental Capacity Act 2016)의 제정 과정과 구체적 작동방식을 분석하였다. 후견제도와 정신보건 간의 충돌의 문제를 1990년대부터 고민하여 최근 2016년 '의사능력' 이라는 단일하고 비차별적인 기준을 제시한 영국 북아일랜드의 사례를 분석함으로써, 국내 후견 및 정신보건 제도에의 함의와 앞으로 나아가야 할 방향에 대해 제언하고자 하였다.

정신보건법은 1995년 제정되어 2016년 정신건강복지법으로 전면개정되었다. 일련의 개정을 통하여 기왕에 제기되어온 문제 중 상당 부분이 해결되기는 하였으나, 기존의 틀을 유지한 채 대증요법으로 일관한 결과 문제 해결의 방법이 다소 거칠고, 그로 인한 부작용도 우려된다. 이 글에서는 이러한 관점에서 우리 법의 기본 틀이 어디에서 왔고, 그 근본적인 한계는 무엇이며, 비교법적 관점에서 대안과 바람직한 개선 방향은 어떠한 지를 검토하였다. 나아가 이와 체계적으로 관련되어있는 민법상 피성년후견인 입원절차(제947조의2)에 관하여도 살펴보았다.

I. Background The problem of discharging patients from hospital have been well documented in the literature over the last 20 years. They included poor communication between hospital and community, inadequate notice of discharge, over-reliance on informal support and lack of statutory support, inattention to patients needs before leaving hospital, and wasted or duplicated visits by community nurses. Most patients discharged from hospital are able to return home with little or no support, while others will require a 'package of care' to support them back to good health. Patient with complex care needs, including the frail elderly and those with mental health problems, may require continuing care in special housing, residential, or nursing homes. With this population,effective discharge arrangement is needed and the study on this problem is urgent in Korea because the Medical Reform Project is on suspension of success. II. Results of the Study: 1. Discharge service needs assessed on 360 elderly patients who were hospitalized during the survey period at four university hospitals. Patients want to know the information on disease management after discharge. Follow-up telephone service is the most frequently checked service. 2. Multidisciplinary Discharge Planning is recommended at the hospital level to reduce the readmission and decrease the length of stay. 3. Further research is needed to validate and test the assumption of the solution which is developed in this research.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the awareness and direction of paramedics work and image in hospitals. Methods: From April 16 to May 5, 2015, data were collected through structured questionnaires from 45 paramedics and 81 nurses working in emergency medical institutions. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 18.0. Results: The work of paramedics is evaluated to be highly worthy at the in-hospital level rather than at the injury first-aid treatment level. It appears that paramedics are often forced to do what their hospitals tell them to do concerning matters related to conflicts with them and nurses. Paramedics stated that they experienced greater mental stress than those engaging in other professions, a finding similar to those of other studies. There was no statistically significant difference in opinions between the two groups about a desirable direction for the development of first-aid services at hospitals. More than two thirds of the respondents said that paramedics should be given the right to enter acting check for patients. Conclusion: Paramedics work is shown to differ in the opinions of paramedics themselves and nurses. Paramedics need for reform is associated with expanding the work of the law.
