This article identifies the need to rethink beliefs and assumptions about the bioethics of long-term care of elderly people. An unconventional way of conceptualizing autonomy is explored that may help occupational therapists support and maintain the independence of older frail and dependent persons. In addition, the partnership model of bioethics is introduced-that is, an ethical framework that makes partners of family members in health care decisions affecting the older adult.
本文指出有必要重新思考关于老年人长期护理生物伦理学的信念和假设。本文探索了一种非传统的自主概念化方式，这可能有助于职业治疗师支持并维持体弱和依赖他人的老年人的独立性。此外，还引入了生物伦理学的伙伴关系模式，即一种使家庭成员成为影响老年人医疗保健决策伙伴的伦理框架。
