ABSTRACT

PSYCHO-SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE
Learning outcome:
To be able to understand that determinant factor of health is complex (not only bio
and physical aspect but also pshyco-social perspective).
To be able thinking holistically in order to overcome such cases in societies.
Abstract:
One important question from Albrecht and Higginbotham in Health Social Science, is
What is the best way to begin the journey towards understanding the complexity of
human health and incorporating the knowledge into more effective health policy and
practice? It is a transdisciplinary and complexity perspective.
The need for a transdisciplinary approach grows more obvious as the disease profiles
of all countries become increasingly complicated.
As stated by WHO, the definition of health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity. That
means WHO recognise health as a state of complete bio-psycho-social well-being.
Nowadays, as a health provider in order to overcome a case we must think
holistically. We all understand that the determinant factor of health is not only bio and
physical aspect but it is complex. For example in industrialised societies have a
substansial burden. It is called lifestyle disease-heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.
