Health Psychology is concerned
with understanding human behaviour in the context of health
and illness. As such the field is a large one and covers
such areas as; how individuals cope with illness and chronic
disease, psychological influences on the development of
disease states, understanding and improving adjustment in
health care settings, patient - practitioner communication,
adherence to treatment, determinants of health-related behaviours
(diet, exercise etc), and understanding how individuals
make sense of and react to health screening, symptoms, and
illness.
The impetus for the development of health psychology
has stemmed from the fact that many of these areas of
research and practice have not been directly addressed
by Medicine. The field has been bolstered by the usefulness
of psychological models in explaining patient behaviour
and developing effective interventions in areas that have
been problematic in the health field.
There is increased recognition of the need for health
services to pay more attention to the psychological aspects
of medical problems and to improve health care interactions.
Increasingly, health professionals are dealing with chronic
illness, ageing and the problems of living with disability.
All these areas have major health psychology components. |
