during the progress stages of their disabilities or illness. There are various models of care which provides
frameworks for service and care delivery such as:
 The medical model: The medical model of care provides a set of principles such as asking
questions, diagnosis, recommendations for treatment an d asking questions undertaken by health

and social care workers for providing care to those who need (Lazarus and et.al., 2021). In the
model, the objects of medical work are conceptualized in two terminologies such a disease and
illness. It defines a disease as an organic malfunction and illness as concerned with the life world
of a person.
 The Psycho-socio model: The model states that to understand the state of a person's complete
medical conditions all the factors such as biological involving social and psychological factors
should also be considered. Biological factors includes physiological pathology, psycho factors
involve thoughts, behaviours and emotions like distress etc., and the social factors such as socio-
environmental factors, cultural factors and socio-economical factors like family situations and
issues etc. the model is most;y used ion the chronic illnesses because it is believed that pain is
psycho-psychological behaviour which cannot be divided into social factors, biological factors or
psychological factors alone.
 The holistic model: The model states that care is practice which heals the whole person as its
goals. It focus on treating every patient and an individual which participates in their own health
care and takes their beliefs and preferences into account to focus on their physical ailments. The
model promotes the emotional, spiritual, and healthy psychological environment as a tool to help
the patients to participate and heal more actively in their own health care services (Pordes and
et.al., 2018).
