Holistic Interventions in a Healthcare Setting: Theoretical Perspectives
It is essential for social workers working in healthcare settings to have a holistic approach to interventions that put patients' and families' needs first. This essay will explore how the Saleeby Strength Approach, the Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual (BPSS), and the Person-In-Environment (PIE) theoretical perspectives can carry out comprehensive therapies. Applying these ideas in practice will be demonstrated via case studies, resulting in better patient and family results.
Person-In-Environment (PIE) Perspective
PIE stresses the human-environment connection. It acknowledges that social, cultural, economic, and physical environmental factors affect well-being. Using this approach, social workers evaluate how a person's strengths and problems affect their environment (Lei et al., 2021). They boost resilience, self-determination, and social support. Social workers use the PIE approach in healthcare to evaluate how environmental influence affects health. They evaluate a patient's living conditions, social support, and healthcare hurdles (Lei et al., 2021). These elements help social workers comprehend patients' and families' struggles. For instance, Sarah is a patient who was recently diagnosed with a chronic condition. Using the PIE viewpoint, a social worker analyzed Sarah's medical condition, living arrangement, support network, and socioeconomic conditions. The social worker identified Sarah as lacking enough financial resources and social support, which were required for good illness management. The social worker tackled the environmental variables affecting Sarah's well-being and improved her coping capacities by linking her with community options for financial aid and support groups.
Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual (BPSS) Perspective
The BPSS method links an individual's biological, psychological, social, and spiritual wellness. It stresses thorough assessment and interventions targeting these features to improve holistic health (Saad et al., 2017). Social workers evaluate these characteristics while using the BPSS approach in healthcare. They want to know how these traits affect health (Saad et al., 2017). Therefore, holistic social workers can create therapies that address biological, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being. For example, John, a patient wit...
