從同志友善醫療到同志友善長照的建構

The Construction of LGBTQ Friendly Long-Term Care from LGBTQ Friendly Medicine

隨著高齡社會的來臨，人口老化及老人照護議題已成為我國的重要問題。但由於同志群體作為社會中的弱勢，其長照與老化的議題卻相對缺乏社會關注、專業投入發展、與政府政策資源的挹注。相較於長照，國內針對同志的醫療議題相對已有較多元的研究與發展經驗，也俱備在地的實作經驗，因此，本文以國內同志友善醫療的實作經驗與研究做參照，提供推展同志友善長照的借鏡或啟示。建構同志友善的長照環境，是健康人權平等的落實，期望長照界能借鏡醫療界推動的同志友善醫療，打造同志友善長照環境，提供包括同志在內的每一位國民具個別化全人精神的照護支持。 Since Taiwan have become an aged society, issues of aging population and long-term care in aging were important for future development of our country.
