精神障碍患者的预先指示权与自愿治疗

Mentally disordered patients' right to advance directives and voluntary treatment

《中华人民共和国精神卫生法》确立了精神障碍患者自愿治疗原则,预先指示权应是这项原则的重要内容。预先指示权不仅能够保障患者自治,而且也具有多重的现实意义。我国具有确立预先指示权的法律环境,但大众对预先指示权比较陌生,建议对其进行适当的提倡和推广。

Mental Health Law of the People＇s Republic of China establishes the principle of voluntary treatment for mentally disordered patients. The fight to advance directives should be an important aspect of the principle of voluntary treatment because it can protect mentally disordered patients＇ autonomy and has multiple practical values. China has the legal environment to establish mentally disordered patients＇fight to advance directives. However, most Chinese people are not fairly familiar with this right. Therefore it is suggested to advocate and promote the fight to advance directives in China.
