a variety of different interventions‚ but mainly involves the use of medical interventions in contrast to holistic interventions. Nursing also has a history of operating within the biomedical model‚ which focuses mainly on the illness and not the individual (Oberle & Bouchal‚ 2009). Because of the use of the biomedical model and lack of holistic care‚ some patients who visit hospitals are treated differently or poorly due to a failure of nurses to recognize the things that impact the patient’s health

In contemporary society‚ particularly in the Western world‚ the biomedical model is perhaps the most commonly used framework for understanding health and illness‚ not solely by members of the medical profession but also by the lay population. This paradigm is based on a "specific way of thinking about and explaining disease based on biological factors" (Barry & Yuill‚ 2008). In recent years however‚ this biomedical model has begun to face challenges as the expansion of knowledge among the

Biomedical engineering is a very broad kind of engineering‚ comprised of many elements. There are several different topics to research more in depth‚ like tissue engineering‚ genetic engineering‚ building prosthesis or even making artificial organs. Artificial organ building is an advanced technology to help improve the quality of life‚ but has many ethical arguments many people do not agree with.

The strengths for biomedical model are that it is revealed to be effective for diagnosis and treatment for numerous diseases and is established on scientific understanding and research. The biomedical model concentrates on the cures for illnesses and diseases. It also states that health can be re-established by numerous methods for example‚ drugs‚ treatment or surgery. The model highlights facts and analysis on biomedicine and that ill health can be set up by diagnosis putting into thought symbols

Holism is explained as the concept of treating the whole body system in its entirety. Comparative to the biomedical model of treating specific illness symptoms‚ holism aims to support all the bodily functions at the same time while looking for the cause of the problem at hand. The concept of Holism will be discussed further in relation to diagnosis and treatment and explanation will be given on the significance of exploring the causes of the symptoms. As discussed by Mark Hyman (Hyman‚ 2010)‚
