A Proposal Called The Biopsychosocial Model ( Straub, 2014 )

Over the weekend I was working in Evolv on a client Biopsychosocial Assessment , and I accidentally used Biopsychosocial Assessment RTF. After realizing my error I corrected it and used the Biopsychosocial Assessment RTF V.2, however there are now two assessments in Evolv for the same client. Can you please assist me with deleting the incorrect assessment.

Feelings of isolation have been linked to higher suicide rates. Durkheim’s study on suicide during the industrial revolution supports this theory as he states that, “people were increasingly disconnected from their communities and that this social upheaval had a greater effect on suicide rates than other factors like wealth” (Winner & Collishaw, 2011). Interestingly enough, despite the increase of media attention on suicide, no studies have been published that explain why suicide rates vary among different groups. However, various factors are involved in the decision to commit suicide. As a result, suicide rates vary according to race, gender and age.

This theory predicts that there are two components to suicide. First off, perception of burdening others and feeling socially alienated combine to result in the desire to die. However, an individual will not act on this desire unless he/she has developed a capability to do so. Capability to commit suicide is developed through habituation from overexposure which perhaps desensitizes the individual to experiences that are painful. This may be vital in allowing the individual to overcome innate instincts for survival and prepare him/her to act on the desire to die. Aboriginal people in Canada have undergone tremendous acculturation and marginalization (failing to acquire and value Aboriginal values and identity, while also failing to identify with the cultural values of the larger society) which may be responsible in making them perceive themselves as a burden to others and feel socially alienated. Such feelings, based on the interpersonal-psychological theory, might instil the desire to die. Habituation and as a result, desensitization to the fear and pain associated with a suicidal experience, could be occurring due to high rates of suicide in one’s community. Thus, the interpersonal-psychological theory provides some insight into aboriginal suicide. However, the picture is incomplete as this explanation could be applied to suicide amongst patients

The Biopsychosocial model (BPS) was established in the early 1970s as a replacement for the biomedical approach created by George Engel (1977). He had argued against the reductionist biomedical model of disease for not considering the behavioural, psychological and social dimensions in the model (Jull, 2017). Wade and Halligan, (2016) had established that biomedical remains as the dominant healthcare approach. The aim of BPS is to integrate the biological factors with psychological and environmental factors, Engel (1977) suggested that the biopsychosocial model of illness has a significant role in the functioning of humans in terms of disease or illness and can make medicine more scientific and should be adopted into psychiatry research (Adler, 2009). Davies and Roache, (2017) established that the model was exceedingly determined, recommending new details for practices as well as a non-reductive advocate for mental illness.

“Don’t treat the disease, treat the patient” [9]. The concept of health has seemed to become complex in definition over the centuries as science improves. “Health is a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.”-World Health Definition of Health (1948) [9]

Although higher prevalence may occur in some countries, there are generally no cultural associations. Families of suicide victims will often state they cannot recall much leading up to the death or that the individual was never really that sad. Unfortunately, suicide is often an outcome of extreme mental anguish without the ability or desire to carry on with normal life expectations. While not all reasons can point back to preventative measures or risk factors, there are certain issues to be aware of when looking at risk associated with an individual. Risk factors

This is a critical appraisal of the article A Tool for the Culturally Competent Assessment of Suicide: The Cultural Assessment of Risk for Suicide (CARS) Measure with the purpose of improving my research and critical reading skills.

Thus, the interpersonal-psychological theory provides some insight into aboriginal suicide. However, the picture is incomplete as this explanation could be applied to suicide amongst patients with psychological disorders as well as to those coming from minority cultural groups. Hence, it is important to build on this picture by looking into factors that play a role in suicide amongst those from cultural minorities.

Case Conceptualization of Regina Noopur Shah The Chicago School of Professional Psychology Question 1: Biopsychosocial Analysis of Regina Biological Factors Fetal Development It can be presumed, due to their middle class status, that Regina’s mother was receiving proper pre natal care and had access to the proper nutrition for healthy development of the child. Regina was receiving proper nutrition as long as her mother was eating well although, if she was not eating well before her pregnancy that would lead to her having to change her eating habits to accommodate the baby. If Regina’s mother did not change the way she was eating for her baby to receive the proper nutrients, then this could have caused Regina’s “physical, socioemotional, and intellectual development to be compromised” (Broderick & Blewitt, p55).

Human genetics can play a major role in determining ones physical condition. One slight change in a genetic sequence can cause a disorder that can be life threating to the organism. Most of the genetic disorders are caused by recessive allele. In most cases this recessive allele is undetectable due to the disorder not being presented in the physical appearance. Hypercholesterolemia is an example of a human disorder controlled by a single gene. This human disorder causes high levels of cholesterol in an individual due to the absence of the low-density lipoproteins.

I would follow the same routine I have written before. Additionally the biopsychosocial model will be implemented in my assessment as well as considering the player’s goals. I would consider the repetitive throwing activities in cricket which may cause shoulder impingement as well as labral tear. The postural adaptation that commonly happens in throwing activities such as increase external rotation and decrease internal rotation would be considered. If there are substantial differences in the internal and external rotation, this will be considered as a potential cause of the pain. In addition, I will assess the scapula for aberrant movements. Limited spine rotation might increase the shoulder mobility. Therefore, I would assess the patient’s

Genetic disorder is a disease that caused by an abnormality in an individual’s DNA. Genetically inherited disorders has only been discovered within the past 150 years. The Incidence of new disorders in our society has led to change into societal attitudes to disease. Some disorders that affect multiple family members are caused by gene mutations (one or more genes) which can be inherited. There also other conditions that appear to run in families that are not caused by mutations. Which instead, environmental factors such as dietary habits or a combination of genetic and environmental factors that are responsible. Passing on mutations are known as monogenic conditions. Monogenic conditions can be inherited in three main ways; autosomal recessive

Week one was a great start to the class, I enjoyed learning about stress and how it can impact every life. It was nice to express the stress I had coping with school and a toddler. I enjoyed reading my classmate’s posts, plus learning about their stressors, helped me to understand who they are a little better. I enjoyed knowing most of us had similar coping strategies. It gave me a sense of comaradity, because you always feel you’re the only one going through difficulties and no one will understand. I liked learning about the biopsychosocial approach from a social influence point of view. I am more aware of each perspective and what role they place in analyzing human behaviour and why each is valuable to science. Overall week one topic

The pattern which can be identified when looking at the differences in health and illness when comparing mortality rates and geographical location, in that those from London are less likely to commit suicide as a result of a mental health issue than those from then North East of England. Statistics have shown that individuals from the North East had a suicide rate of 13.8 deaths per 100,000, although individuals from London had a suicide rate of 7.9 per 100,000 of the population. This is because individuals from the North East are more likely to suffer from mental health issues such as depression, due to their lifestyle or rates of unemployment. The key perspective which would be used in order to explain the differences in health would be Marxism.

For psychosocial model of parental supervision behaviour, the study will analyse the hospitalisations due to Injury-related events. New Zealand has been coding the diagnoses and external causes of injury for hospitalised cases over 30 years. For injury-related hospitalised cases, the sample was set to those hospitalisations with the possible diagnosis of injury (S00-T98 in ICD-10 coding). S00-S99 indicates that the injury is related to single-body region. T00-T98 refers to the injury related to unspecified body regions (Davie et al., 2008)
