Biopsychosocial Approach in Asthma
Abstract: The bio-psycho-social model of health and illness proposed by Eagel (1977) [P1] implies that behaviours, thought and feelings may influence a physical state. The basic principle says that the person suffers as a whole and not as isolated organs. In holistic approach to wellness, we should consider the personality, the emotional dimensions and the socio- environmental condition of the patient. As asthma is a controllable disease, the aim of asthma …
