2013년 7월부터 판단능력이 불충분한 요보호성년자를 보호하고, 그들이 통상적인 생활을 영위할 수 있도록 성년후견제도를 시행한다. 이미 성년후견제도를 시행하고 있는 일본에 대한 분석을 통하여 그 국가에서의 문제점 및 해결방안을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하며, 이것을 통해 한국에서 최적의 제도를 실현할 수 있는 기반을 사전에 마련할 필요가 있다. 성년후견제도의 성공적인 정착을 위해서는 무엇보다 양질의 후견인 확보가 필수적이며, 특히 최근에 성년후견제도의 '사회화'가 지향됨에 따라 시민후견인의 중요성은 더욱 증대되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일본 최고재판소의 성년후견관계사건을 분석하여 성년후견인의 유형 동향을 살펴보고, 시민후견인을 중심으로 그것에 대한 활성화 방안을 도출하였다.

성년후견제도는 2013년 7월에 시행될 예정이다. 본 연구는 성공적 시행을 위해 성년후견제도에 대한 인지도를 알아보고 후견인 중 시민후견인의 활성화를 위해 장애인 성년후견수요자의 부모와 서비스 제공자의 인식을 비교함으로서 정책적 함의를 도출하는데 목적이 있다. 연구 결과, 첫째, 성년후견제도의 인지도는 높으나(78.9%), 이해도는 낮았다(35.2%). 둘째, 후견수요자의 욕구는 재산관리 보다 병원 이용과 사회보장급여 관리에 대한 욕구가 높다고 볼 수 있으며, 향후 제도 이용 의향은 63.3%였다. 마지막으로 시민후견인에 대한 부모집단과 서비스제공자집단은 시민후견의 유형, 비용, 비용부담 주체와 부담액, 시민후견인 양성 프로그램 내용에 대해 유사한 인식 수준을 가지고 있었다.

2013년 7월부터 성년후견제도가 시행된다. 제도의 시행을 1개월 앞둔 시점에서, 한국에서 최적의 제도를 실현할 수 있는 구체적인 대응방안을 마련해야 한다. 이 제도를 시행하고 있는 국가 중에서 일본은 한국과 사회 문화적 유사성이 높고, 성년후견제도의 도입 배경과 전반적인 제도의 운용방식이 유사하다는 평가를 받는다. 일본에서 발생한 여러 문제 중에서 성년후견인에 의한 부정행위는 제도에 대한 신뢰 저하를 초래하고, 제도 정착을 지연시키므로 이에 대한 대응책이 준비되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구는 일본에서 성년후견제도 시행과정에서 나타난 성년후견인의 부정행위에 대하여 살펴보고, 이를 통해서 한국에서 부정행위 방지를 위한 가정법원의 조직 인력 확충, 이중적 감독체제 및 긴급선임제도 도입 등의 몇 가지 방안을 제시하였다.

The right to self-determination in regard to one's body is a key element of human dignity, privacy and freedom. It is constitutionally enshrined in the guarantee of human dignity, in the general right of personality and, most concretely of all, in the right to physical integrity. In principle No-one may trespass another person's body against his will, whether this act improves his physical condition or not. This right of self-determination applies equally to healthy and to sick people. Hence everyone has the right either to permit or to refuse a medical treatment, unless he can not make a rational decision. If the person does not consent himself, for whatever reason, another one must do for him as guardian. Representation in consent to medical treatment is therefore the exception of self-determination rule. This article explored, 1. who can consent to the medical treatment in the case of the mentally incapacitated adult and the infant, 2. what kind of consent to the medical treatment can the deputy determinate for the mentally incapacitated adult and the infant, 3. when the deputy can not determinate without permission of the court, and 4. what can the doctor do in the case of conflict between minors and guardians.

It is the so-called Shinchon Severance Hospital Case brought to an end by the decision of the Supreme Court that opened the real discourse of withholding or withdrawing of LST (Life-Sustaining Treatment) in the legal profession as well as medical profession in Korea. Everyone has sympathy with the validity and necessity of legal regulation on withdrawing-including withholding-of LST save the requirements & procedure of withdrawing of LST. In this situation, the legislative bill of amendment to the Korean Civil Law introducing of adult guardianship was pre-announced by the Ministry of Justice on September 18th 2009. The adult guardianship is a guardianship system that supports an mentally handicapped adult to deal with his affairs by support of a guardian. The object of adult guardianship includes affairs of body or well-being as well as property of adult wards. In particular, affairs of medical matters are of importance in the duty and authority of adult guardians. So, the introduction of adult guardianship is of much importance de lege lata as well as de lege ferena in the discussion of withdrawing of LST as a medical treatment. Since the legislation on withdrawing of LST intents to protect the right of death with dignity on the basis of patients' autonomy, the ratio legis of withdrawing of LST is variant from that of adult guardianship. In this context, it seems reasonable to legislate the withdrawing of LST separately from the adultguardianship. In the meantime, the adult guardianship of the legislative bill of amendment to the Korean Civil Law is related to the withdrawing of LST, since the main purpose of adult guardianship is to protect patients' quality of lives and to regulate guardianship contracts based on patients' autonomy. In that context, it seems reasonable to incorporate the legislation of withdrawing of LST into the adult guardianship system. In the latter case, it is not easy to adopt the withdrawing of LST into the legislative bill of the Korean Civil Law for the bill is pre-announced already as previously stated. However, the legislation of withdrawing of LST is not inferior to the legislation of adult guardianship as a matter of urgency. Moreover, it is likely that the legislative bill of Amendment to the Korean Civil Law generates discrepancies in interpretation of the requirements & procedure of withdrawing of LST as the amended German Civil Law did. In short, it is desirable for the legislator to revise the legislative bill despite delay.

It is mandatory to use car seats for infants and children in the private vehicles in accordance with the traffic law of Korea. Recently, legislation has also been proposed to expand the use car seats to express and intercity buses. This reflects a growing consensus that mandatory infant and child car seats, both for private and commercial vehicles, are essential. However, Korean laws concerning infants and children on board aircraft allow parents or guardians to hold children under two years of age on their laps without any restraint devices. It is not possible for a parent to physically restrain an infant or child, especially during a sudden acceleration or deceleration, unanticipated or severe turbulence, or impact. The use of CRS provides an equivalent level of safety to infants and children as that afforded to adult passengers wearing seat belts. But there is no regulation even about Child Restraint Systems on board aircraft in Korea. To enhance their safety, infants and children should be restrained in an approved child restraint system that is appropriate to their weight and height. It is necessary to examine whether infants and children in flight can achieve the same level of safety as an adult.

This study was conducted to investigate the causes of burn and emergency cares taken on the spot for the burn patient. Study population included 161 burn patients admitted to 2 university hospitals and 1 general hospital in Taegu from November 1, 1987 to April 30, 1988. Patients or guardians were interviewed with a structured questionnare. Out of 161 burn patients 111(68.9%)were males and 50(31.1%) females. Preschool children of 1-4 years old accounted for 29.8% of the total patients. Burns of children under 15 years of age took place at home in 91.0%, while 48.3% of burns of adult (15 years and over)males occurred at the working place, and 68.0% of adult females occurred at the home. Out of total burns occurred at home 39.8% took place at kitchen/dining room and 24.1% in the room. The most common cause of burns in children was the boiling water or hot food (74.3%). In adults the common causes were electrical burn(22.4%), hot water or food(19.0%) and explosion(12.1%) for males, and hot water or food(32.0%) and explosion (20.0%) for females. Common emergency cares for the burn taken on the spot were undressing(64.6%), pouring Soju(liquor)(13.7%), and pouring cold water(5.0%). There were a few cases who applied ash, soy or salt. To prevent burn, it is recommended to remodel the traditional kitchen and coal-briquet hole, to strengthen the safety control of LP Gas and LN Gas supply, to educate the public for the handling method for such gases, to strengthen the occupational safety control, to improve the safety device for the electric wire and socket, and to limit the temperature of hot water at home and public baths.

Background: The epidemiology of nasal fractures varies according to factors such as the era and area of the study, as well as the age of the patient. We compared the characteristics and causes of pediatric nasal fractures. Methods: A total of 2,321 patients with nasal fractures from 2010 to 2017 were examined. The patients were divided into age groups using the Korean school system of age classification. The causes of injury were divided into five groups: violence, fall or slip down, sports, road traffic accidents, and others. Fractures were classified using the Stranc and Robertson standard: vector of force and plane of fracture. Results: Violence was the most common cause of nasal fracture in patients older than 12 years. Violence was a significantly less frequent cause among patients younger than 12 years old than among adolescent and adult patients. Nasal fractures due to violence were not observed in patients younger than 10 years. Plane 2 and lateral force fractures were the most common; however, in patients younger than 12 years, frontal force fractures were significantly more frequent than were lateral force fractures. Conclusion: As children may simply be injured due to a fall or slip down, it is important for the parents and guardians to ensure their safety. As they become older, children should abstain from violence and be monitored. It is therefore very important to ensure that the environment is free of violence in order to prevent such injuries.
