Research objects and tasks of behavioral medicine

Behavioral medicine takes explicit behaviors related to human health and diseases as the research object, and the research object is people first. Focus on those who have various behavioral problems, including healthy people. Study problem behaviors, mainly all kinds of behavioral problems in clinical medicine, determine the causes, nature and degree of these behavioral problems, study the methods and measures to change problem behaviors, eliminate patients' behavioral obstacles through treatment, help patients cultivate healthy behaviors, correct problem behaviors, and promote disease recovery and physical rehabilitation. Behavioral medicine studies the behavior of healthy people, mainly discusses the characteristics and laws of normal people's behavior development at all ages, and prevents various behavioral problems through behavioral counseling and behavioral guidance. With the help of animal experiments, behavioral medicine explores the biological mechanism of behavior and observes the pathological changes and the influence of drugs on behavior. Basic research such as behavioral physiology, behavioral pathology, behavioral biochemistry, behavioral pharmacology, behavioral anatomy and neuroethology can provide theoretical basis for clinical research of behavioral medicine. This paper summarizes the research tasks of behavioral medicine, including the following aspects: ① the origin, development and evolution of human behavior and the functions of various behaviors; ② the development law and physiological mechanism of human behavior; ③ The relationship between human behavior and physiological functions of various organs, and the interaction between human health and diseases; ④ Occurrence, prevention and corrective measures of harmful health behaviors. Mainly study the behavioral means and techniques to deal with various diseases, including diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation, in order to meet the needs of the public; ⑤ Harm of social behavior to human health and intervention measures; ⑥ Advocate healthy behavior, tell the public about behavioral medicine knowledge through health education and other measures, and promote the development of human behavior in a civilized, healthy, harmonious and beautiful direction; ⑦ Continuously develop and improve the scientific system of behavioral medicine, including basic theories, principles, technologies and methods, absorb and introduce the knowledge and technology of related disciplines, and gradually improve its own scientific system; (8) Deepening the study of human behavior is to spread the thoughts, principles, techniques and methods of behavioral medicine to the whole medical field and even the whole society. For example, apply the research results of human behavior to deal with public hazards, pollution, family disintegration, interpersonal tension, too fast pace of life, unemployment, crime and other issues caused by social behavior, and apply the research results of human behavior to behavioral management and other fields.
