Frequent use of psychotropic medicines in people with dementia is a significant concern globally, doing this without informed consent is a violation of human rights, ethics and law. Capacity Australia piloted an intervention to address several hypothetical barriers to obtaining consent for psychotropic use in aged care and has developed a suite of resources to improve rights and health literacy for clinicians, patients and community alike.
在全球范围内，痴呆症患者频繁使用精神药物是一个重大问题，未经知情同意就这么做是侵犯人权、违反伦理和法律的行为。澳大利亚能力中心（Capacity Australia）开展了一项干预措施，以解决在老年护理中获得精神药物使用同意方面的几个假设性障碍，并开发了一系列资源，以提高临床医生、患者和社区的权利和健康素养。
