Biopsychosocial Model

This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.

Person centred care could be defined as focusing on a person’s individual needs, wants, wishes and where they see their target goal. Person centred care also takes into account delivering person centred care to the patients family and carers, as well as the multidisciplinary team that is working together to provide care. The service user is the most important person in decision making for their health care and the nursing process. (Draper et al 2013). Person centred care reminds nurses and care staff that they are caring for the service user, their families and care staff providing the care, this allows the patient power in decision making towards their health and wellbeing. (Pope, 2011)

It is important to review care and support plans as people’s needs change. By including the person, their family then everyone knows what is happening and the family can help to monitor mood swings and behaviour. The individual and the family can express their views and preferences and any relevant risk assessments may be done with everyone involved. By monitoring the individual, a decision can be made as to whether the changes are effective and if the best care is being given to encourage independence and promote dignity.

Your biopsychosocial model was really nice. I found it very insightful. This model shows us how biophysical, psychological and social factors are interconnected to each other and have high impact on smoking in adolescences. I do agree with you that socioeconomic status play a vital role on smoking. The strength of the relationship between socioeconomic status and smoking is very evident. And a gradient still exist between SES and health, when looking just at nonsmokers or just at smokers.1 Prevention strategies to prevent smoking in adolescent should be focus on primary prevention. Because most smokers pick up the habit, while still in their teens.1 So, it is important to focus of primary prevention is to reduce initiation of tobacco use

The biopsychosocial model aims to explain an individual’s health as a culmination of his unique biological factors (comprising of genetics, temperament and biochemicals), psychological factors (such as mood, affect, personality, etc.) and social factors (cultural background, society within which one operates, familial factors, social interactions, etc.). Distorted biological factors such as composition of neurochemicals in the brain or abnormality in any other bio physiological processes can lead to ill health and diseases occurring in the body. Psychological factors such as clinical symptoms, psychopathology or even perpetual distress and negative thinking could lead to release in cortisol in the body. This is also known as the stress hormone

The drug epidemic in the United States has been enlightening. Illegal drugs have cost the United States approximately 600 billion in total costs to the economy including lost wages. The biopsychosocial model is a combination of biology (body) and social, psychological (mind, and community (social). The biopsychosocial model provided a holistic approach to medicine. The biopsychosocial approach systematically considers biological, psychological and social factors and their complex interactions understanding healthcare, illness and health care delivery.

The Bio psychosocial model is an approach to human health and disease which includes these factors such as psychological, biological, emotions, behavior and culture. One can better understand the health condition with combination of social and psychological components rather than only focusing in biological terms. It has been proved by many studies that psychosocial factors have a major affect on human functioning in the context of disease or illness. Since, as the way body react will affect the mind and the way mind react will affect the body. This means there is an equal relationship between mind and body. Therefore, psychosocial approach is as much as important to the body as biological medical treatment.
