日本老年医学会根据2012年伦理委员会成员的总体共识，发布了关于老年患者临终护理的立场声明修订版。这一修订旨在跟上过去十年来对老年人临终护理的看法的变化。这篇文章中有许多关于这一问题的建议性条款，作者认为这对那些在超老龄社会中照顾老年人生命最后阶段的人有具体的指导意义。此外，该声明在许多其他国家也是有用的，在这些国家，人口老龄化尚未成为一个紧迫的问题，但将来会成为一个紧迫的问题。我们认为，这一立场声明可以为那些正在或将要从事老年人临终关怀的人提供道德方面的指导。我们还希望，本声明的发布为在一个老龄人口不断增加的社会中进行更广泛的讨论提供了一个渠道。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2014; 14：735-739.
The Japan Geriatrics Society published a revised version of its position statement regarding the end-of-life care for elderly patients, based on the overall consensus by the members of the ethics committee in 2012. This revision is intended to catch up with current changes of views on the end-of-life care for older people over the past decade. There are many suggestive items regarding the matter in this statement, and the authors believe it will be of specific guidance for those who are caring for older people in their final stage of life in the super-aged society. Also, the statement can be useful in many other countries, where aging of the population is not yet an urgent concern, but will be so in the future. We believe that this position statement can offer guidance in an ethical respect for those who are or will be engaged in end-of-life care for older people. We also hope that the release of the current statement provides an avenue for broader discussion in a society with an increasing aged population. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2014; 14: 735-739.
