While there are a number of clinical practices for treating a
variety of diseases, there is an urgent need to integrate
bio-psychosocial perspectives and practices in order to promote
comprehensive healthcare. Current research reports that diseases
such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and
heart diseases are a growing threat to the heath and quality of
life of individuals across the globe. Considering that nearly all
these diseases are directly related to the lifestyle of an
individual, prevention and intervention should be devised to
address psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual factors.
Biopsychosocial Perspectives and Practices for Addressing
Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases is a collection of
theoretical research that promotes good health and quality of life
through psychosocial interventions to address psychosocial problems
facing individuals such as discrimination and stigma, stress,
depression, alcohol and drug abuse, smoking, lack of physical
activity, and many other socio-economic factors. While highlighting
topics including mental health, traditional healthcare, and global
health, this book is ideally designed for therapists, counselors,
psychologists, medical professionals, hospital administrators,
researchers, academicians, and students in fields that include
public health, nursing, community-based healthcare, health
psychology, HIV/AIDS education, human movement education, and sport
psychology.
