Abstract

Following the adoption of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), WHO published the QualityRights Tool Kit in 2012 to spread the practice guidelines based on the principles of CRPD human rights. As a ratifying country of CRPD, Korea is responsible for implementing mental health services based on human rights models suggested by CRPD. Although macro-systems such as the enactment of Mental Health Welfare Act and the abolition of disability rating system have been gradually improved, the actual practice of human-rights models is very limited in the fields of mental health practice. The WHO Quality Rights Tool Kit is a mental health and social care service evaluation tool based on the principle of the CRPD and specifically presents the direction of improving human-rights based practice. This study aims to explore the applicability of the Tool Kit in Korea. In order to achieve the research purpose, pilot tests were conducted involving five Mental Rehabilitation Facilities. Facilities are evaluated as “Achieved Partially(A/P)” of users’ human rights on the five themes of Tool Kit. Major findings are as follows. (1) In the short term, the Tool Kit will be available for mental health rehabilitation facilities as a standard of human-rights based practice for their own purpose. (2) In the long term, the Tool Kit will be possibly used as a tool for national mental health service evaluation to certify qualified human-rights practice institutions.
