Abstract

The emphasis in health psychology is to persuade people using diverse approaches to embrace health promotion, maintenance, and illness prevention. Health psychology studies how biological, psychological, and social factors influence people's attitudes toward their health. This chapter aims to investigate potential contributory relationships between bio-psychosocial factors and population health. The book delves into the bio-psychosocial model, which can assist individuals in developing and maintaining healthy lifestyles in order to promote good health and prevent illness. It endeavours to accelerate the integration of biopsychosocial model in public health systems and healthcare facilities in the context of biological, psychological, and social factors to promote better health and prevent illnesses at a population level. A desk research was adopted to come with relevant literature at the same time adhering to the ethics code. The BPS model is recommended for its robust holistic focus on the person rather than just their infirmity.
