Abstract

As various social problems have arisen due to the increase of the aging population, one of these problems is the increase of the elderly with dementia. The necessity of systematic and effective dementia management policies has been raised, as the increase of social and economic cost along with the growth of the dementia population. This study examined dementia management policy of Japan, where there is arranged and provided dementia management policy in advance. Especially, this study focuses on the contents of comprehensive promotion strategies for dementia policy(New orange plan) of Japan which was pronounced in 2015, and explores the development strategies for Korea by reviewing this plan. The suggestions through this study are provided as follows: inclusion of the support contents reflecting the dementia patients and their families, the necessity of coping for early onset dementia, organizing system for early diagnosis and prevention such as an early stage of intensive support team, a continuous progression for building the elderly-friendly community and conducting campaign for a deep understanding of dementia, are discussed.

고령화로 인한 여러 가지 사회문제가 발생하는 가운데 치매노인의 증가도 이 중 하나라 할 수 있다. 치매인구 증가에 따른 사회경제적 비용이 증가하는 상황에서 체계적이고 효율적인 치매관리 대책의 필요성이 제기되고 있는 가운데, 본 연구에서는 우리보다 앞서 치매관리 대책을 마련하여 실시하고 있는 일본의 치매관리 대책을 살펴보았다. 특히 2015년 발표된 일본의 인지증시책추진종합전략(신오렌지 플랜)의 내용을 중점적으로 살펴보고 이를 통해 우리나라 치매정책 발전 방안을 탐색하였다. 이에 따라 치매환자나 그 가족들의 입장을 반영한 지원내용의 포함, 초로기 치매에 대한 대응의 필요성, 초기집중지원팀과 같은 조기진단 및 조기대응을 위한 체계의 정비, 치매환자 및 고령자에 친화적인 지역 만들기의 지속적 추진, 그리고 치매에 대한 인식을 높이기 위한 캠페인의 전개 등이 제안되었다.
