This essay firstly reviews the policies and practices of the development of hospice care for the elderly in China, and we discover that main obstacles that hinder its development are institutional barriers, difficulties in financing, a lack of personnel, and low acceptance rate of the general public. Considering the current construction of socialized pension service system in China, we make institutional exploration in the development of the hospice care of the elderly in China. And we hold that these are key ways to develop this career to “get through” the lifeblood of the medical and health services and the hospice care service, “extend” the socialized system of elderly care service to this service, enhance the “input” in this service, and fully develop the long-acting “safeguard” mechanism for the development of this service.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

In 2000, the elderly population rate was 7.22% of the total Korean population, and it is gradually increasing, up 12.22% in 2014 (Organization Economic Cooperation Development: OECD 2014). Also, the life expectancy of the Korean population is reaching 79 years for men, and 85.5 years for women in 2014 (Korean Statistical Information Service: KOSIS 2015). According to the World Health Organization (WHO 2014a), the highest life expectancy at age 60 in 2013 was recorded in the North American region by 23 years and the lowest record was in South-East Asia region by 17 years. To compare with Europe and West Pacific regions, the life expectancy age at 60 of South Korea was recorded by 24 years. Among three East Asian countries-China, Japan and Korea-China was recorded with the lowest life expectancy at age 60 by 19 years and Japan was the highest record by 26 years.Korean elderly are enjoying extended longevity and living longer than ever before. However, they have remained about 13 to 19 years with 2-3 functional needs for activities of daily living (ADL), depending on long-term care services as well as multiple medical cares (Korean Statistics 2015). 89.2% of Korean elderly patients were diagnosed with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) with cancer accounting for most of the total deaths from NCDs (WHO 2014b). These indications for elderly patients are leading them to have more \"personal care\" components that are frequently provided in combination with care and basic medical services such as nursing care (wound dressing, pain management, medication, health monitoring), as well as prevention, rehabilitation, and hospice and palliative care (OECD 2013).They have also benefitted from full national health care insurance coverage, financed by universal health care insurance established in 1988. Also they have benefitted from a newly-extended national long-term care (LTC) insurance that is financing a full coverage of LTC services with only a less-than-20-percent co-payment regardless of income and properties (National Health Insurance Service: NHIS 2014). LTC benefits include a range of services which were requested by persons with a reduced degree of functional capacity, physical or cognitive, and who are consequently dependent for an extended period of time on help with basic ADL. The Act on LTC Insurance for Senior Citizens was passed unanimously in the Assembly's plenary session on Apr. 2, 2007 and enacted on Apr. 27; it was enforced as of Jul. 1, 2008. This is a type of social insurance is based on the principle of social solidarity. The nation and society agreed to share the responsibility for LTC and nursing care for senior citizens with Alzheimer's disease or stroke instead of leaving the entire burden on their families. The LTC benefit covers health expenses for LTC institutional facilities over six mont","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

With the high speed of aging in Korean society we face end-of-life issues and policies at the terminal stage. Policies on life-sustaining treatment decisions to death in later life were developed from the 2000’s and legislated into the Cancer Control Act in 2010. It was not until February 2016 that the Cancer Control Act was a legal provision of hospice and palliative care even for terminal cancer patients. The Cancer Control Act made an impact on the institutional and financial situations of hospice and palliative care. The first impact is a medical care-centered care flow and a transfer model for hospice and palliative care. Public policies focus on hospice services inside general hospitals, so that independent hospice centers or community services are underdeveloped. The second impact is a patient-initiated decision model into hospice and palliative care. Physicians had no legal obligation to explain to patients their terminal situation and prognosis and could inform them only when they choose Therefore, it was not until July 2015 that hospice and palliative care was covered by the public health insurance system.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

Older Chinese, as the elderly in other countries, are more likely to have chronic diseases and die of them. The causes of death and place of death among the elder Chinese have brought up an issue of how to die, or end-of-life care. According to our research, Chinese start to think and talk about death preparation. Living will has become a recent target of promotion among various forces in society, which makes more Chinese understand the concept of living will and gives individuals more choices to decide how they will die. On the part of Chinese society, we have seen a gradual increase in providing hospice care services, a type of end-of-life care. However, comparing with the need of the care and services available, China still has a long way to go to build a better end-of-life care service system for Chinese population.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

We also examined whether and the extent to which such impact is explained by economic resources and social environment. By using data from the 2008 and 2011 Survey of Living Conditions and Welfare Needs of Korean Older Persons (N=5,704), we compared the depression scores across three groups: continually married, continually widowed, and recently widowed. The result indicates that, compared to others, those experiencing a recent bereavement are more likely to have higher levels of depression. This finding provides a strong ground for the crisis model. In addition, economic resources and social environment alleviate some of the negative impact of the transition to widowhood on mental health.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

Those ‘highly devotional individuals’ who sacrificed their lives and well-being for the welfare of their state are the very subjects of the veterans’ affairs policy. The soldiers of war and public casualties are compensated under the Military Pension Act, the Military Service Law and the Courtesy Law. Putting aside the basic idea, the benefits that the primary subjects (the soldiers of war and public casualties) of the veterans’ policies receive is far inferior than those civilians receive in compensation for accidents. It is necessary to review the Country Compensation Law, which has excluded soldiers from the Country Compensation Claim Right. And medical care and educational support is essential.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

However, the Proposal for Legislation by the Korean National Bioethics Committee and the Supreme Court decision have some limitations. Both limits the patient’s ability to decide to withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment to cases involving a dying patient who is about to die. The Hospice and Life-sustaining Treatment Act also reflected this limitation. Only POLST signed by competent patients themselves is fully respected as a patient’s wishes. The Supreme Court decision reveals theoretical confusion between the principle of respecting autonomy and that of a patient’s best interest. Even though the Proposal and the Act outline certain procedures for surrogate decision-making, they may be problematic in that they place a heavy weight on family members’ decision making. This limitation should be overcome with ethical, legal, and sociological studies. Despites this limitation, any legislation based on the Proposal was needed in Korea. Building a medical system with better palliative care or hospice care should be emphasized to prevent the abuse of withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment. The values of familism should be balanced with those of autonomy.","PeriodicalId":84572,"journal":{"name":"Development and society (Soul Taehakkyo.

This article showed that work status affected the individual, by influencing subjective stratum and his or her perception of distributive justice, which in turn had an impact on organizational commitment and job involvement. Finally, the article stressed that non-regular workers did not constitute a homogeneous group and that, consequently, part-time workers should be treated as distinct from other types of non-regular workers.
