Aim-Objectives
• Aim: At the end of this presentation, the participants will have knowledge of biopsychosocial medicine and believe on the importance of this model in PC.
• Objectives:– Can define systems approach– Can define holistic health care model– Can define biopsychosocial model– Is aware of the importance of social, psychological and
existential factors on health

• A young women of 19 injured her knee while playing baseball and was admitted to hospital for surgery. When seen for follow-up by the surgeon, she showed weakness and muscle wasting in the leg and complained of a number of general symptoms (fatigue, sweating, pain in the neck). When the surgeon suggested that she was not doing her exercises, she became hostile and angry. Eventually she returned to her family physician, who found her with severe muscle wasting and still complaining of the same general symptoms. After excluding some physical causes of her symptoms, the doctor encouraged her to talk about the impact of the illness on her life. She had had a strongly religious upbringing, with emphasis on academic and athletic achievement. Having siblings with high academic abilities, she had based her self esteem on athletic achievements, which she now saw threatened by her injury. Given some insight into her problem and an opportunity to discuss it with the doctor, she began to cooperate with her physiotherapist and returned to fully activity.

• “It is more important to have information on the person who has the disease rather than the type of the disease.”
Sir William Osler (1904)
• Treat the patient, not the disease!
Clinical era
10
• “Social medicine deals with investigating the relationships between medicine and the population and uses medical services for the wellness of the population without depending on any doctrine or ideology."
Dr. Jules Rene Guerin, 1848
Social medicine

Systems approach
• The human is in fact a very complex creature.• It is not always possible to find a single causative
factor for human diseases.

Systematic Thinking
• Systematic thinking is often used by scientists. • It makes it easy to understand • For example:
– an occupational trauma may be due to inadequate tools (social), loss of attention (psychological) or drop of blood glucose (biological);
– causing organ injury (biological), stress (psychological) or loss of income (economical).
• However, isolating the problem is not applicable to general practice. A GP has to consider the complex relationship of problems
17
• Aim: to treat the knee problem and remove the physical pathology underlying the symptoms.
• Which is important but not enough
• What is needed?: understanding of the patients internal world
Biomedical model
18
Is medicine really improving?
• Number of laboratory tests increased 33% from 1967 to 1972
– McGinnis 1976
• What about patient satisfaction??
19
• Emphasizes personal development assuming– All types of health and disease are psychosomatic
– There is a communication between body, mind and soul
– Diseases arise from inability to adapt to different situations
• Gives importance to personal care, education and prevention– Natural nutrition,
– Herbal therapy,
– Acupuncture
– …
The Holistic Health Care Model
20
• It encourages the clinician to observe the feelings, life objectives, attitude towards the disease, social environment, biochemical and morphologic changes.
• The person is a complex of body, mind and social environment. Environmental and psychological conflicts are potential pathologies for the individual.
• Feelings can affect physiological functions of the body (Zegans, 1983).
• Instead of dealing primarily with biological factors, considering psychological and social factors as well will enable understanding disease processes.
The Biopsychosocial Model (Engel 1977)

The LEARN Model- Listen with empathy the patients view to his/her
problem- Explain the patient on his/her words the view
and opinions of the doctor- Acknowledge the differences between the
doctor and patients thoughts- Recommend a model integrating the patients as
well as doctors opinions- Negotiate to a common solution with medical,
ethic, legal acceptability covering the patients expectations
Berlin and Fowkes (1983)
26
• Which of the below is wrong regarding the psychosocial model?
a) The person is evaluated with his family and environment
b) There are multiple ethiologic dimenstions
c) It evaluates the person with his body, soul and social environment
d) It has a disease centered approach
Summary
27
• What is the main reason medicine moved from the laboratory era to the clinical era?
• What is the main idea of the systems approach and how can GPs use it in patient care?
• Can you explain the LEARN acronym developed by Berlin and Fowkes?
