Full textAbstract:
Beliefs are shaped by personal experiences and the environment, which are inherently individualized and variable. In this essay, I argue that beliefs are not formed voluntarily because of the pervasive influence of unconscious biases. I use a biopsychosocial model to examine this issue. First, I discuss the optimistic bias driven by neural mechanisms and its function in selectively filtering information to maintain psychological well-being. Furthermore, I explore how delusions, especially those caused by traumas, can involuntarily influence belief formation. Finally, I emphasize the importance of family and environment influencing one's beliefs. By integrating these findings in biological, psychological, and social aspects, I conclude that beliefs are not voluntary but are controlled by many factors. This finding is significant for addressing implicit biases and enhancing self-awareness through reflection and critical thinking.

Until now, there has been done little research on the purposeful biopsychosocial development of student personality in Latvia. Also, in pedagogical science there has been little done on the formation of balanced development self-management skills in humans. Each person's biopsychosocial development is in harmony with its health or lifestyle habits. The quality of student life and studies depends on their health which is affected by health habits. Their formation is closely linked to the formation of biopsychosocial development self-management skills in students. The objective of this paper is to analyse the interrelationship between personality biopsychosocial development self-management skills and health habits in students. The paper discovers the nature of biopsychosocial development skill self-management in relation with the formation of health habits in students. In the analysis of the interrelationship between development self-management skills and health habits there have been found the main factors which affect both skill and habit formation.The student biopsychosocial development model has been developed based on American psychiatrist George Engel's theoretical modelling. The principles of balanced biopsychosocial development self-management are based on discoveries in papers on humanpedagogy by Professor A.Spona. The paper looks at the awareness of necessity of student self-development and purposeful self-development in action. The interrelationship between purposeful biopsychosocial development self-management and health habits forms foundation for student attitude formation against themselves, other people, as well as surrounding environment. The results of balanced biopsychosocial development in students manifest together with health habits.

Full textAbstract:
With regard to philosophical anthropology, a human ecological framework for the human–environment relationship as an “ecology of the person” is outlined, which focuses on the term “relationship” and aims to be scientifically sound. It also provides theoretical orientations for multiprofessional clinical work. For this purpose, a multi-dimensional basic grid for the characterization of the individual human being is proposed. The necessity and meaningfulness of a differentiation and systematization of the terms “environment”, and above all “relationship”, are demonstrated, and practical examples and links to similar framework models are given.

Full textAbstract:
This article is based on research carried out in the author's laboratory during the past decades. The central theme is the study of how environmental factors influence health and behavior. The approach is multidisciplinary, focusing on the dynamics of stressful person-environment interactions, viewed from social, psychological, and biomedical perspectives. A biopsychosocial framework for the study of stress and coping at the workplace is outlined. Key notions in the biopsychosocial approach are that endocrine responses to the psychosocial environment reflect its impact on the individual and serve as early warnings of long-term risks. Research on the release of the adrenal hormones, catecholamines and Cortisol, in response to different work demands is interpreted in terms of the author's “effort and affect” model. The significance of personal control for achieving a state of effort and positive affect is underscored. Finally, a plea is made for dialogue between researchers in the biopsychosocial field and the employees, their organizations, and management. The dialogue is seen as a tool for translating research results into practical measures.

You cannot assess psychiatric disorders in isolation, so it is essential to study the socio-cultural context in which it occurs. It is dynamic, its historic time and not everyone integrates alike. Through a case we try to show how culture influences the expression of psychiatric pathology. Specifically, in this patient it is evident that we are beings bio-psycho-social. It is a continuation and must integrate these three areas when assessing a patient. Here we start with a family history unrelated to the Mental Health so that adherence to antipsychotic treatment is guaranteed with monthly administration depot preparation. These socio-cultural factors are the main trigger for the breakdown of the subject that cause the patient psicotización (exacerbations related to stressful situations).Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Objective: to apprehend patients’ perception of spirituality, religiosity, and the practice of euphemia throughout hospitalization. Methods: qualitative research, conducted with 12 hospitalized patients. Data collection took place through individual interviews. The speeches were transcribed in full, submitted to thematic content analysis, and the discussion was based on the Transpersonal Care theory. Results: from the speeches, three categories emerged: Spirituality and religiosity: meaning and balm to human life; Benefits of the practice of euphemia in the hospital environment; Spirituality, religiosity, and euphemia in the art of nursing care: biopsychosocial triad in the patient’s perception. Conclusion: spirituality, religiosity, and euphemia were configured as a biopsychosocial triad capable of attributing meaning, foundation, and balm to human life. Also, it may encourage patients and nursing professionals to face the adversities of the hospital environment.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is on the rise among women of reproductive age in the United States, contributing to a marked increase in the incidence of adverse consequences on maternal and child health (MCH). There is a dearth of literature on the biopsychosocial determinants of OUD in MCH populations and their role in the current opioid epidemic. The aim of this study is to examine the epidemiology of OUD in the United States and develop a biopsychosocial research model of OUD among women of reproductive age.Methods: Utilizing a scoping review methodology, a systematic search strategy was implemented using MEDLINE/PubMed, Integrated Library searches, and Google Scholar. Scholarly/peer-reviewed articles published up to July 2017, in English, and restricted to populations in the United States were eligible for inclusion. A qualitative synthesis of the selected studies was performed to summarize study findings.Results: Multiple factors play a role at every level of the biopsychosocial model (BPSM) in OUD—from molecular (genetic, epigenetic), cellular-tissue, organ system, the person (psycho-affective, cognitive, and behavioral), to relationship-based (family, peers), community environment, healthcare-related, and policy levels. Conclusion: Important research gaps persist at every level and highlight the need for multiple-level biopsychosocial research to enhance our understanding of the nature, extent, distribution, etiology, and consequences of OUD among women of reproductive age. Our biopsychosocial model of OUD can be used to guide innovative MCH epidemiology research.

Full textAbstract:
There is large disparity in the incidence of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) for Asian Pacific Islanders (APIs), one of the fastest growing minority populations in the United States. It is critical to examine biopsychosocial pathways and vulnerability factors that intensify risk for T2D in API. Increasing evidence links chronic stress to poor health outcomes and accelerated development and progression of diseases of aging, such as diabetes. Immigrant populations face unique life stressors, including the challenges associated with the process of adapting to a new environment, new language, and cultural differences. In addition, immigrants experience high levels of psychological distress related to changes of identity and values, loss of support, discrimination, and disempowerment. The purpose of this article is to propose a biopsychosocial framework to explicate potential mechanistic pathways that link cumulative life stress to risk for T2D in the API immigrant population. Unique to the proposed framework is the emphasis on inflammatory processes and accelerated cellular aging (telomere biology). A deeper understanding of biopsychosocial pathways can lead to tailored and targeted interventions to reduce the incidence of T2D in the API immigrant population.

Full textAbstract:
The mental health of educators is a growing problem in many countries. This study sought to identify self-reported stressful working conditions of elementary schoolteachers and the biopsychosocial consequences of those working conditions and then identify working conditions that promote well-being for teachers in the workplace. Exploratory study was done with 37 teachers. Data collection was performed using a structured interview with a questionnaire. Results show that stressful working conditions are related to inadequate salary, an excessive number of activities, and having to take work home. Biopsychosocial consequences include anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders. There was a statistically significant association between inadequate salary and anxiety (p= 0.01) and between an excessive number of activities and stress (p= 0.01). Teachers reported that a good relationship among colleagues is a working condition that promotes well-being in the workplace. The identification of stressful working conditions for teachers, the biopsychosocial consequences, and working conditions that promote well-being in the workplace are relevant to determining actions that improve the work environment and, consequently, the health of teachers.

AbstractObjective:Physical activity (PA) is a known benefit to older adults with diabetes; however, the determinants of PA are less well studied in this population. Applying the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), a well-established biopsychosocial framework, we explored PA participation among older adult with type 2 diabetes.Method:Using data from the Health and Retirement Study and the RAND Center for the Study of Aging (N = 2,016; mean age = 73.19; SD = 6.16), we conducted hierarchical stepwise regression analysis to evaluate the relative contribution of different biopsychosocial predictors to PA – namely, body functions and structure, activity and participation, personal, and environmental factors.Results:Altogether, biopsychosocial factors accounted for 20% of the variance in PA participation. Of the personal factors, high extraversion and low neuroticism explained approximately 54% of the variance in PA among the older adults – beyond sociodemographics. Low body mass index, reduced pain, reduced depression, and higher cognitive functioning also had good explanatory power (25% of explained variance), whereas activity participation and environment did not (10% each).Conclusion:Aligning care with components of the ICF will help to ensure a focus on person-centric practices and, in turn, optimize participation outcomes such as PA.

Full textAbstract:
To date, antimicrobials have been understood through largely biomedical perspectives. There has been a tendency to focus upon the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals within individual bodies. However, the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance demands we reconsider how we think about antimicrobials and their effects. Rather than understanding them primarily within bodies, it is increasingly important to consider their effects between bodies, between species and across environments. We need to reduce the drivers of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a global level, focusing on the connections between prescribing in one country and resistance mechanisms in another. We need to engage with the ways antimicrobials within the food chain will impact upon human healthcare. Moreover, we need to realise what happens within the ward will impact upon the environment (through waste water). In the future, imaginative interventions will be required that must make the most of biomedicine but draw equally across a wider range of disciplines (e.g. engineering, ecologists) and include an ever-increasing set of professionals (e.g. nurses, veterinarians and farmers). Such collective action demands a shift to working in new interdisciplinary, inter-professional ways. Mutual respect and understanding is required to enable each perspective to be combined to yield synergistic effects.

The biopsychosocial model is one of the most important models in physiotherapy practice. It has been proven to be particularly useful in treating behaviorally regulated diseases that have a wide range of risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, obesity, hypertension, and cardiac issues. Physiotherapists should be aware of their modes of action in terms of the cultural environment in which they operate and the unique needs of the patients in order to refocus Physiotherapy practice toward the whole treatment of patients without compromising professional ethics. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of physiotherapists' methods of action and to highlight the importance of incorporating models of disablement, the idea of rehabilitation, the biomedical model, and the biopsychosocial model into patient management strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This review offers a critique of recent attempts to reconceptualize some cases of borderline personality disorder (BPD) within the newer diagnosis of complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD). The CPTSD construct focuses on the role of childhood trauma in shaping relational problems in adulthood, difficulties that have been previously seen as features of a personality disorder. The CPTSD model fails to consider the role of heritable personality traits, as well as a broader range of psychosocial risk factors. This review proposes that a biopsychosocial model of BPD is more comprehensive, taking into account a wider range of risk factors, while viewing BPD as rooted in gene-environment interactions. In this model, heritable traits are amplified by an adverse psychosocial environment. One can acknowledge the role of trauma as a risk factor without assuming that it fully accounts for the development of personality pathology.

This article will present music therapy as a therapeutic method of intervention for people undergoing treatment and recovery from physical illnesses, during hospitalization or after, where, through scientific research based on comprehensive literature, it will seek to highlight the importance of the theme. . The biopsychosocial benefits will be investigated, discussing this method of intervention with a view to the development of better mental, cognitive and motor health conditions, scientifically explaining that at the same time they will be reflected in physical health. The research will point out that music exerts influences regarding the expression of the human being and its biological interaction with the environment, that the sounds are present for the individual since his intrauterine life, and, propitiates the reflection and exteriorization of the feelings, promoting well-being mental and physical. The search in the various bibliographic data will qualitatively bring the importance of the research carried out, where the benefits of applying music therapy in the hospital or post-hospital environment for physical treatments will be pointed out. It will be scientifically understood that music therapy is an effective technique to enable biopsychosocial growth and development, achieving the objectives of alleviating symptoms in various illnesses.

This paper is a summary report on the basic questions of the biopsychosocial approach to Parkinson’s disease. It deals with cognitive, affective and psychological health issues which significantly influence the outcome of the physical rehabilitation. In spite of the unchanged cognitive status, the psychological burden of the changes in the quality of life, the obstruction, the change in the affective tone, and the shrinking ability to fulfil social roles decrease the patient’s quality of life. An interdisciplinary approach is best suited for mitigating these effects. Not only the patient but also his/her family and environment is seriously affected by the disease and its consequences. Treatment and rehabilitation options for increasing or maintaining the quality of life of the affected patients are diverse, and significantly depend on the features of the health care system. The authors believe that the following review emphasizing health psychological principles may contribute to the work of professionals working in clinical and rehabilitational fields and through them may increase the quality of life of patients and their family.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Generalization of biological, social, and psychological predictors of self-destructive behavior is one of the main tasks for world health care at the present time. For this reason, the development of an integrative model of self-destructive behavior, taking into account the diversity of biopsychosocial factors, as well as their representation in the virtual environment, will be highly relevant. The integrative model can be used to create automated systems for analyzing socio-cultural risk factors of self-destructive behavior, as well as helping specialists to create prevention, maintenance and correction programs. The purpose of the study is to describe and generalize the factors of the real and virtual environment that mediate the risk of developing self-destructive behavior and to create a hierarchical generalized model of self-destructive behavior based on the synthesis of biopsychosocial and cyberpsychological paradigms. Materials and methods. For a holistic analysis of the basic concepts and the creation of a general model of selfdestructive behavior, we used a combined approach that includes content analysis to describe the factors mediating self-destructive behavior, the method of expert assessments for the selection of significant factors, mathematical and statistical analysis for processing the data obtained (methods of descriptive statistics, cluster analysis (Ward method)). The results of the study. As a result of cluster analysis , the following components of the self-destructive behavior model were identified: 1) "Peculiarities of self-attitude" (23.2%) (the dynamic component, depending on the specific situation, is highly significant for face-to-face diagnosis; 2) "Endogenous factors of self-destructive behavior" (20.2%) (violations of the emotional-volitional sphere); 3) "Exogenous factors of self-destructive behavior" (21.4%) (negative factors of upbringing); 4) "Negative factors of the socio-cultural environment" (17.3%) (traumatic micro- and macrofactors that can provoke the occurrence of self-destructive symptoms); 5) "Individual characteristics developed in the process of personality formation" (14.2%) (individual predictors of self-destruction); 6) "Factors of isolation from the social environment" (3.6%) (a number of personal predictors that prevent open active interaction with others and getting help). Conclusion. A number of new data describing the structure of the generalized model of self-destructive behavior and the main directions of risk analysis have been obtained. The leading factors of the micro- and macro-socio-cultural environment are identified, representing a wide range of markers available for study through the analysis of virtual communication. The possibility of combining a biopsychosocial model and the capabilities of a cyberpsychological approach to create a dynamic digital monitoring model that allows for a general risk assessment for large samples to minimize the resources of individual diagnostics is shown.

Full textAbstract:
In spite of an inhospitable policy and funding environment for domestic violence perpetrator treatment, efforts in theory development and practice innovation have persisted. Among them are efforts to understand and treat domestic violence using attachment theory. General principles of attachment theory, as well as concepts more directly connected to violence between intimates and other family members, suggest approaches to working with perpetrators that show promise for emotional growth and behavioral change. One such approach is attachment security priming involving the clinical or experimental activation or evocation of secure attachment style through the use of various prompts or stimuli. Evidence supporting positive results from attachment security priming with potential for addressing domestic violence includes: diminished fear reactions, improved creative problem-solving, reduced psychological pain, persistence in managing uncomfortable feelings, more positive relationship expectations, less attachment anxiety, and modulation of threat-related amygdala reactivity.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: This article aims to address the topic of doctrinal expert medicine in a biopsychosocial epistemological study of the concepts of epigenesis and epigenetics from a perspective that contemplates the biological, psychic and social approaches, both from the aspects of physiological normality and from the perspective of psychic and physical pathology. Method: Historical conceptual research of a qualitative, critical and prospective nature of the terms “epigenesis” and “epigenetics”. This study raised historical and current texts that deal with these concepts and proposed a philosophical and biopsychosocial approach to their meaning, presenting an original doctrine for applying them to expert and forensic medicine. Discussion: It is known that the term epigenesis was coined by Aristotle to explain the evolution of living beings after their basic training, for example syngamy. The term epigenetics was created by Waddington to explain the causal study of development, that is, to identify and understand what causes the development of living beings. The terms epigenesis and epigenetics evolved in conceptual terms. The meaning of the word epigenesis was given greater scope, applied to different scenarios. The different meanings of the term epigenetics evolved to the point where it defines an area of biology that uses its best-known methods: DNA methylation, histone modification and the expression of non-coding RNA, that is to say the entire process of heritable changes and reversible gene alterations that do not impact DNA. Conclusion: The study carried out and included in this article showed that both concepts are contextualized in a broad environment based on the biopsychosocial aspects of scientific knowledge.

Abstract BACKGROUND Failure to thrive (FTT) is prevalent in 5% of the paediatric population and results from the interactions between the child’s health, behaviour, development and social environment. A multi-disciplinary team approach to treat FTT is effective but resources are not always available. OBJECTIVES To characterize biopsychosocial factors and feeding behaviours in children presenting with failure to thrive in our clinic. DESIGN/METHODS A retrospective cross-sectional chart review of children referred to our academic growth and feeding clinic was performed. Children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years with a first clinic visit between 1st January 2015 and 31st of December 2016 were included. Data from the patient’s first visit was included in the study. In a REDCAP database, anthropometric measures according to WHO growth curves, medical history and concurrent developmental delays were recorded. Factors important to the child’s social environment (e.g. maternal mental health, financial problems) were identified. These factors were self-reported by parents to the clinic team or noted on the patient’s referral. Specific attention was paid to the identification of feeding behaviours of children (e.g. vomiting, gagging) and parents (e.g. force feeding, use of distractions). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The study included n = 138 (53.6% male) children with a mean age of 16.9 (SD 10.8) months. The mean weight-for-age percentile was 16.0 (SD 24.3), mean height-for age percentile was 23.8 (SD 30.7), and mean weight-for-length percentile was 16.8 (SD 23.4). 88 (63.8%) children had both growth and feeding behaviour concerns. 26 (18.8%) children were born prematurely and 24 (17.4%) were small for gestational age. 57 (41.3%) children had a history of gastro-oesophageal reflux. In 10 (7.2 %) children, a genetic diagnosis was identified. Concurrent developmental delays were described in the gross motor (20.3%), fine motor (8.0%), speech and language (20.3%) and social domains (6.5%). Feeding developmental milestones that were delayed included not-self feeding (17.4%) and a diet inappropriate for age (20.3%). Important factors that were identified in the child’s social environment were: maternal depression (5.1%), CAS involvement (10.1%) and financial problems (7.2 %). Maternal anxiety was reported but difficult to define. In more than half (50.7%) of the children, feeding behaviours of vomiting, gagging and/or crying and arching were described. Parents used force feeding (14.5%) and distractions (47.1%), and reported mealtimes longer than 30 minutes (70.3%). Most commonly used distractions were television (25.4%) and mobile screens (14.5%). CONCLUSION In our academic population of children with FTT, there is a high incidence of concurrent developmental delays, delayed feeding milestones and feeding behaviour problems. Almost half of the parents used distractions and even more parents prolonged mealtimes to make their child eat. These results underscore the importance of a multi-disciplinary team approach to address feeding behaviours and child development in our population of children with FTT.

The article outlines theoretical approaches to solving the problems that general education faces while ensuring its accessibility for all children without exception. On the basis of international documents on monitoring education, the theoretical approaches to education for all are analyzed, and the possibilities of a biopsychosocial approach are discussed. The expediency of developing a model of education for all is proved, which allows forming a holistic view of a person, focusing not only on his biological capabilities, but also on the potential of the social environment.

Full textAbstract:
Maternity and pregnancy involve significant biopsychosocial changes in the lives of women. These changes determine their experience of motherhood and can be a crucial aspect in the choice of parenting style. Women require a source of knowledge and support that goes beyond the technical, clinical environment, led by qualified nurses for holistic and humanized care. The objective of this study is to identify women’s beliefs, expectations, and experiences of their motherhood and its different stages, and their perception of the care they receive, in order to enhance effective management of their new role at a health and social level. A phenomenological qualitative study using thematic analysis will be used, within the theoretical framework provided by the Social Cognitive Theory and the influence of gender. The sample size will be defined by the sampling saturation criterion and should include rural and urban women, with different socioeconomic status. The information will be collected with semi-structured interviews that will be analyzed based on the codification of the texts in three levels and the subsequent triangulation of the results. The biopsychosocial aspects involved in motherhood make it a complex process, with women as the main player. Therefore, mothers’ opinions on the barriers and enablers they encounter in their environment are essential to place them at the center of the process. In addition, knowing the perceptions of women could help improve the work of nurses, having impacts on the humanization of health care and responding to women’s needs during their motherhood.

Full textAbstract:
To deliver tailored pain science education, assessing children’s biopsychosocial pain concepts is necessary. As validated tools are lacking, a new tool is presented, the biopsychosocial pain concept matrix (BiPS matrix), which assesses children’s biological, psychological, and social pain concepts in five domains according to the Common-Sense Model of Self-Regulation (Hagger and Orbell, 2003): (1) illness identity, (2) causes, (3) consequences, (4) duration, and (5) treatment. The present preliminary study aims to (1) assess the items’ readability and understandability in cognitive interviews with N = 9 healthy children (9 to 19 years, M = 13.78 years, SD = 3.05; 44% female) and (2) pre-test the BiPS matrix within an online survey of N = 27 healthy children (9 to 19 years, M = 13.76 years, SD = 3.03; 56% female). Results revealed difficulties in understanding some items. Children’s understanding increased with age. Age, chronic pain status, and pain in the social environment were positively associated with the BiPS total score, whereas the latter explained the most variance in pain concepts of children. Patient-focused methods such as cognitive interviews proved essential in testing the readability and understanding of items in children. Future studies are warranted to further validate the BiPS matrix.

Full textAbstract:
Social intelligence has been researched for almost 70 yr. without definitive findings. During this period almost no attempts have been made to consider the complexity of the brain's anatomy and functions responsible for social competence. An ecological model focusing on social abilities within a biopsychosocial context is discussed along with supporting literature and an hypothesis for research. This argument invokes social intelligence as an independent brain system. It is suggested that neurological structures and chemical activities controlling social skills are directly influenced by the environment, individual beliefs, personal goals, and physiology.

Full textAbstract:
Health is essential in all spheres of everyday life. It is crucial for well-being, longevity, and to avail economic and social opportunity. Therefore, resources and services needed to be healthy go beyond medical care. Living and working conditions which promote health assume greater importance as they have the potential to reduce the need for medical care (Daniels, 1981;1Daniels et al., 1999). Therefore, the discourse on health needs to begin from the socioecological framework and move towards the biomedical through the biopsychosocial. The health promoting elements require to be distributed according to need, rather than treated as commodities which can be accessed based on one’s economic propensity. Evidences are aplenty that health status is contingent to health promoting environment, and imbalances in this environment are likely to produce disparities, inequities and inequalities in health.

The eclectic nature of social work in addition to the person-in-environment perspective, as well as its biopsychosocial frame, warrants the utilization of a holistic interventionist lens amid the coronavirus pandemic. This is paramount if we intend to prevent and stymie not just the dreaded contagion in itself, but also its rampaging impact on individuals, families, groups and communities. In this essay, we highlight some empowering framework necessary for action and clarify potential ethical concerns. Given the extensive fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, illustrative guidelines conducive for holistic professional intervention, during and in the aftermath of the disease, are rolled out.

Full textAbstract:
Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) negatively affect biopsychosocial development and functioning across the lifespan. Social workers in generalist practice are likely to serve individuals with a history of childhood adversity. Currently, there is no standard requirement for the topic of ACEs to be addressed in baccalaureate social work education. Our teaching note addresses this gap in the curriculum by establishing a need for baccalaureate social work students to receive trauma-specific education early in their academic careers. Human Behavior in the Social Environment is proposed as a course in which this content can be easily incorporated. Recommendations for future directions are provided.

(1) The objective of our study is to determine, from a primary care midwife’s perspective, which biopsychosocial factors can favour or be detrimental to exclusive breast feeding. (2) The study was carried out in Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) and is based on qualitative methodology. Twenty in-depth interviews were carried out with midwives working in primary care centres in Tenerife, using a content analysis approach. The transcript data was then encoded following an inductive approach. (3) According to the perceptions of the primary care midwives who were interviewed, the barriers and facilitators that influence exclusive breastfeeding related to the biopsychosocial spheres of women are, at an individual level, the physical and emotional aspects during the postnatal period; at the relationship level, the presence or not of support from the close family and partner; at the community level, the environment and social networks the new mothers may have; and at the work level, characteristics of jobs and early return to work. (4) The findings of our research can help healthcare professionals to approach the promotion and encouragement of exclusive breast feeding at each of the levels studied, with the aim of increasing rates following recommendations issued by The World Health Organization.

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM1) influences the self-perception of adolescents, their behaviour, and their integration into the social environment. The practice of Nursing Specialists in Children and Pediatric Health promotes their adaptation to the disease. The aim of the current study was to reflect on the interventions of these specialist nurses with adolescents with DM1 and their families. We performed an integrative literature review of the literature about the impact of DM1 on adolescents and the relevance of Specialist Nurses in Children and Pediatric Health in providing care to adolescents and their families. The nurse's intervention must contemplate the adolescent and macrosystem. Since diagnosis, it is crucial that the specialist nurse recognizes the adolescent's difficulties, combining technical care with constant emotional support. The nurse's intervention enables the adolescent and family to manage feelings, adjust the therapeutic regimen and integrate new routines into their daily lives.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses, from an original angle, on the issue of high blood pressure (hypertension) which represents a major public health challenge in Haiti, particularly in Cap-Haitian, with low normalization despite drug treatment. Lack of family support at the hospital and non-compliance with medical recommendations often contribute to this problem. Furthermore, in the Haitian hospital environment, health professionals place much more emphasis on the physical aspect while ignoring that health involves a biopsychosocial dimension. To carry out this study, we adopted a qualitative approach. With this in mind, three patients, including two women and one man, were recruited. Their age ranges between 40 and 60 years old with a predominance of participants from privileged backgrounds. Semi-structured interviews made it possible to assess compliance with treatment and the quality of the family environment. One of the participants presented poor compliance, highlighting the significant impact of the quality of the family environment on compliance with treatment. The results indicate better compliance among patients from advantaged backgrounds, highlighting the importance of psychological support and compliance with medical recommendations. The findings of this research call for further integration of the family approach into hospital treatment of hypertension to improve therapeutic effectiveness and promote positive outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Palliative care is dedicated to terminally ill patients with advanced disease, regardless of diagnosis, under the overarching premise of optimizing quality of life. This narrative review examines the extent to which principles of cybernetics and psychophysiology underlie this approach. Psychophysiology researches the physiological equivalents of psychological states and traits such as activation and individual reactivity, the interoception and the personal characteristics. Cybernetics specifies these principles, which are possible by understanding terms such as “psychophysiology” or “cybernetics” or “self-organization/autopoiesis”. The meaning of these terms for palliative care can also be elucidated in relation to the terms “biofeedback”, “consciousness”, “pain”, and “anxiety”. The common themes of cybernetics and psychophysiology are environment, subjectivity, personality characteristics, the difference between time scale separation in cybernetic systems, and real-time procedures in environment and rhythm. These lead to special therapies based on psychophysiology, such as consciousness training. The concepts of quality of life, causality, the biopsychosocial model, therapy, and autonomy are examined as palliative care concepts. The equivalents can be described from the perspective of cybernetics. For some palliative care-related terms, cybernetic thinking is already present (quality of life, autonomy, symptom control), while for others, it is not (biopsychosocial). Cybernetic terms (complexity, stability, identity, rhythm) are still used to a lesser extent in palliative care. Terms like genetic basis are common in cybernetics and psychophysiology to explain the identity of the subject in transition. Identity, on the other hand, is the basis of the concept of dignity in palliative care. Psychophysiology investigates disturbances like pain and psychological illnesses, which are also present in palliative care. Psychophysiology, cybernetics, and palliative care have subjectivity and resources in common. Therapies based on cybernetic principles of psychophysiology can also be used for symptom control in palliative care in the oncology setting.

AbstractTo improve global human capital, an understanding of the interplay of endowment across the full range of socioeconomic status (SES) is needed. Relevant data, however, are absent in the nations with the most abject poverty (Tucker-Drob & Bates, 2016), where the lowest heritability and strong effects of SES are predicted. Here we report the first study of biopsychosocial gene–environment interaction in extreme poverty. In a sub-Saharan sample of early teenage twins (N = 3192), we observed substantial (~30–40%) genetic influence on cognitive abilities. Surprisingly, shared environmental influences were similar to those found in adolescents growing in Western affluent countries (25–28%). G × SES moderation was estimated at aˋ = .06 (p = .355). Family chaos did not moderate genetic effects but did moderate shared environment influence. Heritability of cognitive abilities in extreme poverty appears comparable to Western data. Reduced family chaos may be a modifiable factor promoting cognitive development.

Due to the rapid development of social economy, general hospital buildings of China are undergoing changes in their models, technology, and medical systems. Changes in the model of hospitals may affect the functional structure, streamline layout, and spatial form of the hospital building. The biological-psychological-social (biopsychosocial) model covers the overall significant factors in healthcare. The model focuses on the hospital public environment. For the advocacy of patient-centered medical concepts, researchers have put forward newer and higher requirements as well. However, there is scarcity of research that targets the psychological impact of general hospital public space environment construction on the patients’ health. Moreover, there is no unanimously recognized standard questionnaire for the public space environment. The purpose of this article is to investigate the needs of inpatients for the space environment, to understand the influencing factors of various space environments, and to explore the law of patient needs. The research intends to provide a theoretical background for the construction of a patient-centered space environment. A dedicated questionnaire was designed to systematically collect the significant features and factors. Using cluster sampling, a total of four medical and surgical wards were investigated. The data obtained from 430 questionnaires were statistically analyzed by SPSS-10.0. Various statistical operations such as descriptive analysis, independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, and linear and logistic regressions were performed over the data. The psychological impact was studied from four aspects. The highest score (3-4 points) obtained for the larger number of patients (84.4%) testifies that the public space environment has a significant impact on patients’ mental health. Besides healthcare, outcomes of the paper may be used in various related domains such as psychological well beings, spatial analysis, social interaction, and public space designing.

Abstract This study aimed to understand how the insertion of music in the work environment contributes to achieving Quality of Working Life (QWL), from the perspective of biopsychosocial and organisational well-being. The context where the study was conducted was the manufacturing area of a major textile company located in Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The use of a case study was the research strategy adopted, with exploratory and descriptive objectives. The primary data was collected through the focus group technique and semi-structured interviews were used as an additional tool. Respecting the theoretical saturation criterion, four focus groups were formed, each comprising eight randomly selected participants from the seventy-six co-workers in the sector. The data was analysed qualitatively, using the content analysis technique. Twenty-eight QWL attributes were identified. It was concluded that musical insertion provides biological, social and, above all, psychological and organisational well-being to the co-workers, contributing to achieving QWL in the work environment researched.

There are adverse events in the patient's environment that impact on therapeutic decisions and become a medical challenge, as is currently the management of cancer patients with radiotherapy, particularly the elderly in times of a COVID-19 pandemic, due the high risk of infection and fatal complications from non-cancer causes. Here we present the case of an 84-year-old woman with voluminous squamous cell cancer in the left orbital region, which caused intense pain, stench, and persistent bleeding. And due to persistence and time, it impacted with deterioration in the patient’s quality of life. In the end, of hypo fractionated radiotherapy management as the only modality, it evolves with a complete clinical response and total palliation of initial symptoms. The reasons for the decision to manage radiotherapy and the excellent clinical results that reinforce the idea of personalized medicine and the importance of evaluating the biopsychosocial environment of the cancer patient will be discussed.

Major gaps exist in the literature regarding the link between open space and physical activity promotion for older adults. This study conducted a systematic review on older adults, open space, and physical activity to identify their needs and preferences in and near parks. We identified 48 peer-reviewed journal articles. All articles focused on older adults but not necessarily exclusively. Most studies were descriptive and correlational. Findings suggest that older adults have specific open space and physical activity needs in and near parks that partly overlap with younger people. Framed by the biopsychosocial framework, open space and physical activity in and near parks can benefit older adults’ physical health and psychologically well-being to stay socially engaged. Framed within the person–environment and life span perspectives, open space and physical activity in and near parks can facilitate an optimum fit between older adults and their environment as they continue to develop over time.

Organised competitive sport forms a social institution in many countries which addresses Articles 29 and 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – the directives that respectively, every child has the right to play and that children’s talents, mental and physical abilities be developed to their fullest potential. However, the documentation of the occurrence of sexual harassment and abuse in sport in a number of countries has challenged our consensus vision of competitive sport as a positive, empowering environment for gifted young people. This has led to a more critical analysis of the sporting environment as a socio-cultural system and its impact on young people. Both human rights frameworks and the scientific biopsychosocial paradigm are underpinning the development of preventative policy and practice. In this article, I provide a brief summary of current knowledge on sexual abuse in sport, and propose a gatekeeper role for psychologists working with athletes.

A computational environment will only change the nature of interactionist activity if the changes that are occurring in methods of communication are looked at, as this should favor cooperative work. In order to develop tools that provide opportunity for building knowledge by means of interaction, it is necessary to be aware of biopsychosocial aspects and understand the liberating potential of the communicative processes that are established when individuals interact while mediated through technology. Beginning with a sociohistorical conception of social interaction, we seek to fill a research space in terms of communicative action and the meaning of social representations regarding communication and information technologies. We analyze the triad of communication, technology and ageing, questions are examined that involve elderly people in a biopsychosocial context. We seek to identify symbolic representations in relation to the technologies and analyze the triggered feelings and the meanings of these experiences encountered with the use of these mechanisms. The processes of appropriation are analyzed along with the meaning of technologies with a group of elderly citizens from the city of Passo Fundo - RS, enrolled in informatics workshops. The research is made up of a cross sectional study descriptive nature and population. To analyze relations among the researched variables, applied analysis of variance, chi squared test, factorial analysis and conglomerate analysis. The data was analyzed on a significance level of 5% (p ≤ 0.05). The results indicate that the elderly participate in the workshops especially with the purpose of maximizing the processes of coexistence.

Full textAbstract:
Frailty is a complex interplay between several factors, including physiological changes in ageing, multimorbidities, malnutrition, living environment, genetics, and lifestyle. Early screening for frailty risk factors in community-dwelling older people allows for preventive interventions on the clinical and social determinants of frailty, which allows adverse events to be avoided. By conducting a narrative review of the literature employing the International Narrative Systematic Assessment tool, the authors aimed to develop an updated framework for the main measurement tools to assess frailty risks in older adults, paying attention to use in the community and primary care settings. This search focused on the biopsychosocial domains of frailty that are covered in the SUNFRAIL tool. The study selected 178 reviews (polypharmacy: 20; nutrition: 13; physical activity: 74; medical visits: 0; falls: 39; cognitive decline: 12; loneliness: 15; social support: 5; economic constraints: 0) published between January 2010 and December 2021. Within the selected reviews, 123 assessment tools were identified (polypharmacy: 15; nutrition: 15; physical activity: 25; medical visits: 0; falls: 26; cognitive decline: 18; loneliness: 9; social support: 15; economic constraints: 0). The narrative review allowed us to evaluate assessment tools of frailty domains to be adopted for multidimensional health promotion and prevention interventions in community and primary care.

Background Previous models that assess quality-of-Life (QoL) in patients with rheumatic diseases have a strong biomedical focus. We evaluated the impact of COVID-19 related-health care interruption (HCI) on the physical, psychological, social relationships and environment QoL-dimensions, and explored factors associated with QoL when patients were reincorporated to the outpatient clinic, and after six-month follow-up. Patients and methods Study phase-1 consisted of a COVID-19 survey administered from June 24th-October 31st 2020, to outpatients with rheumatic diseases who had face-to-face consultation at outpatient clinic reopening. Study phase-2 consisted of 3 consecutive assessments of patient´s QoL (WHOQOL-BREF), disease activity/severity (RAPID-3), and psychological comorbidity/trauma (DASS-21 and IES-R) to patients from phase-1 randomly selected. Sociodemographic, disease and treatment-related information, and comorbidities were obtained. Multiple linear regression analysis identified factors associated with the score assigned to each WHOQOL-BREF dimension. Results Patients included (670 for phase-1 and 276 for phase-2), had primarily SLE and RA (44.2% and 34.1%, respectively), and all the dimensions of their WHOQOL-BREF were affected. There were 145 patients (52.5%) who referred HCI, and they had significantly lower dimensions scores (but the environment dimension score). Psycho-emotional factors (primarily feeling confused, depression and anxiety), sociodemographic factors (age, COVID-19 negative economic impact, years of scholarship, HCI and having a job), and biomedical factors (RAPID-3 score and corticosteroid use) were associated with baseline QoL dimensions scores. Psycho-emotional factors showed the strongest magnitude on dimensions scores. Most consistent predictor of six-month follow-up QoL dimensions scores was each corresponding baseline dimension score, while social determinants (years of scholarship and having a job), emotional factors (feeling bored), and biomedical aspects (RAPID 3) had an additional impact. Conclusions HCI impacted the majority of patient´s QoL dimensions. Psycho-emotional, sociodemographic and biomedical factors were consistently associated with QoL dimensions scores, and these consistently predicted the QoL trajectory.

There is an ever increasing interest in identifying the links between architecture and public health and in how urban design can positively influence the latter. The psychology of sustainability and sustainable development represents an innovative research area as a recent contribution to sustainability science and its trans-disciplinary configuration. The research topic deals with the importance and the centrality of the user-centered approach in the observation of the relationships among mankind, technological systems, and built environments, for projects that guarantee the conditions of physical, mental, and social well-being. Starting from the plurality of different disciplinary sectors, from anthropometry and sociology to psychology, “human experience” and user’s expectations are explored, understood, and systematized. The analysis of the relationship between health and urban design has allowed researchers to identify design strategies to improve the level of urban livability. The city of Pisa is the case study; mobility within the city is redefined through various levels of the use of space so that paths and areas of inclusion and socialization are re-valued, while new scenarios for some urban spaces open up. In this perspective, the design strategies synthetically follow two main directions: the re-appropriation of these places by the citizens and, at the same time, the promotion of their well-being from both a physical and psychological point of view.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual abuse against minors is already one of the social ills in people’s lives. Victims of sexual abuse are often exposed in the public and even closed. The victim feels that it is something taboo and can even damage a person’s disgrace. Therefore, they need treatment from institutions that are concerned with social issues that deal with child victims of sexual abuse. This research aimed specifically to determine the impact of the case on child victims of sexual abuse through a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach and to explain the strategy model of psychosocial-spiritual treatment, together with institutional accompaniment, referring children to doctors and being accepted by children of victims of social abuse under age. The method used in this research was a qualitative descriptive study with the type of case study. The study was carried out at the Ambon City Women’s Empowerment Circle (LAPPAN). Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews and direct observations to the victims in the field and LAPPAN officials. This research shows that victims of sexual abuse occur in underage children in Ambon City aged 9 -12 and 13 -16, which have an impact on biopsychosocial-spiritual. The psychological impact is that the child feels mentally disturbed, while the social impact is related to the child’s relationship in the social environment, both at home and school. The spiritual impact makes children embarrassed to attend worship meetings in places of worship. In addition, LAPPAN provided serious assistance in reducing the psychological problems experienced by the victims.

"Psychosomatic health and sympathetic nervous adaptation of health professionals and the general population during the second covid-19 wave in Greece. between-group comparisons and regression analysis."

Full textAbstract:
Background: Based on previous COVID-19 global literature, the second COVID-19 outbreak in Greece probably created a stressful environment for health professionals and the general population. It is likely that psychosomatic and sympathetic nervous symptoms increased in both groups.Aim: The study tests whether health professionals would present significantly higher levels of psychosomatic and sympathetic nervous symptoms, and whether several biopsychosocial criteria would predict psychosomatic symptoms overall.Material & Methods: 192 participants were recruited though the snowball strategy after the first domestic COVID-19 lockdown in Greece. Participants provided socio-demographic details, while they answered measurements regarding nervous adaptation (DASS-21), psychosomatics (PSSQ-29), resilience (NMRQ), self-efficacy (GSE) and personality (IPIP-50). The researchers performed independent t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, Pearson’s r correlation analysis and a multiple linear regression.Results: Health professionals experienced significantly less psychosomatic and sympathetic nervous symptoms compared to the general population, while none of the socio-demographic variables show between-groups differences. 10 out of 15 biopsychosocial variables were found significantly correlated with psychosomatic symptoms. The predictive model (Adjusted R2= .586) shows ‘stress’ (β= .242, p= .006), ‘anxiety’ (β= .494, p< .001) and ‘emotional stability’ (β= -.160, p= .004) to be significant predictors, excluding ‘gender’, ‘being a health professional’, ‘resilience’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘extraversion’.Conclusions: The findings contradict to previous studies regarding psychosomatic and sympathetic nervous symptoms in the COVID-19 era. Additionally, the prediction model is not consistent to the theories regarding resilience and self-efficacy. The present study provides much debate in the relevant fields of research.
