Question

With reference to the biopsychosocial model of health, identify how inequalities could impact the wellbeing of an individual from your selected field of practice with 1,000 words.

Answer 1

The biopsychosocial model of health is an interconnected aspect of biological, psychological, and social factors that define cause, inception, and the result of a person's health problems. This method has developed multiple therapies and programs to manage the problems of people suffering from illness and enhance the quality of their lives. It helps in understanding the health problems and its therapies. Where this method has proven to be a great support in understanding behavior of health of individuals, any kind of ignorance or inequalities results in a severe impact on a person's wellbeing keeping the biopsychosocial model of health.
When we think about inequality and wellbeing of a person, we clearly understand that it does not go hand in hand. Any type of inequality results in the direct influence on the health of an individual. He may start feeling depressed, fear may arise in him due to mistreatment, it may affect his mental health and also physical health. This also brings fear of exposing to the social environment with fear of being ridiculed in front of all or being discriminated. A person must be happy from within to have good health and a good life.
In my field of practice, where I work, there is dealing with multiple people at same time. Doing multitasking and at the same time attending many individuals. I have been a witness on many occasions where I have seen lot of people insulting and abusing their fellow members in public. I also have seen people providing special attention to people who are their favorites and ignoring people who are not. They keep it very clear of their choices and their unequal behavior towards others.
This has resulted in drip in the performance of these individuals, they being always tensed and in fear. They have been losing their interest and focus on the work and try to avoid social gatherings arranged by the organization. They have reduced intake of the food and have developed mental and physical illness. I have noticed them always ignoring and avoiding mingling in people around them. Inequality has impacted their way of thinking, their health and also their confidence.
