Writing Notes: Frameworks of Health

The meaning of health has evolved over time but early definitions of health focused on the theme of the body’s ability to function.

Originally health was seen as a state of normal function that could be disrupted from time to time by disease.

Disease - a broad reference to any condition that impairs normal functioning of the body.

BIOMEDICAL MODEL

Most Western countries focus on the physical processes – pathology, biochemistry and physiology of a disease – as primary contributors to health:

This is known as the biomedical model:

According to this model, health means freedom from disease, pain, or defect but not does consider the role of social factors or individual subjectivity.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINE

There is a contrasting model of health that takes a more holistic approach, often referred to as traditional medicine.

Traditional medicine - “the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures” (WHO, 2019).

BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL MODEL

In 1977, American psychiatrist George Engel developed an interdisciplinary model that looked at the interconnection between biology, psychology, and socio-environmental factors.

With his biopsychosocial approach, Engel strived for a more holistic approach to health by recognizing that each patient has his or her own thoughts, feelings, and history.

Engel’s biopsychosocial model views the development of illness through the complex interaction of biological factors (genetic, biochemical), psychological factors (mood, personality, behavior) and social factors (cultural, familial, socioeconomic, medical).

Example: A person may have a genetic predisposition for depression, but he or she may have social factors such as extreme stress at work and family life, and psychological factors such as a perfectionistic tendency, which when combined can trigger this genetic code for depression.

"ESPERANCITA", inmersa en su realidad, nos muestra la necesidad que todos en algún momento de nuestras vidas tenemos por un milagro; la esperanza que persiste a través de nuestras creencias religiosas sin importar lo difícil que sean nuestras circunstancias.

Let no one dishonor Artemis. (For no fair contests came to the city when Oeneus dishonored her altar.) Do not contend with her in the shooting of deer or in marksmanship. (For the son of Atreus boasted at no small price.) Let no one court the maiden. (For neither Otus nor Orion courted her for a happy marriage.) Do not flee her yearly dance. (For not without tears did Hippo refuse to dance around her altar.) Hail greatly, queen, and graciously encounter my song.
