As I have begun my literature review, I have noticed various things happening. The first theme
I am noticing is that there are not an abundance of journal articles on one simple subject. Because of the fact that evidence-based practices take an extended amount of time to study and pursue before having enough information to publish a journal or scholarly article, there isn't a big abundance of those articles to research or use; especially not within the last 5 years. I have also seen a decrease in the amount of peer-reviewed articles that are available. After some research, I found that peer-reviewed articles rely on volunteers to review and write them. In the last few years, there has been a shortage of volunteers to review and publish peer-reviewed articles which play a role in the decreased amount of peer-reviewed articles within the last few years (Flaherty, 2022).
Another theme I am noticing is that the same solutions have been tried repeatedly. Even though time has gone on, the same issues and solutions surrounding the cost of healthcare have stayed stagnant with little progress being made when looking at the big picture. This affects my evidence-based research project because when looking at how the cost of healthcare affects the populations health over a certain amount of time, there is not a lot of various resources I can turn to to support my project or present evidence for when things have been stagnant.
The third theme or trend that I have noticed is the lack of options for solutions. The cost of healthcare has been on a steady incline for a long time yet there are no actual solutions to the issue. Because of the lack in finding solutions or avenues to reduce the cost of healthcare in an effective way, the populations health has declined and continues to do so. My research is on that decline but I do not yet have solution-oriented answers or theories to assist in reducing the declining health of our nation. This has posed an issue in my project but also the
overall health of the country.
