Applying Research Skills

Healthcare systems globally encounter diverse challenges, leading to adverse health


consequences that require immediate attention. One significant challenge is the limited
accessibility to healthcare services. Ensuring adequate healthcare access for all is a
crucial goal that demands collaboration among healthcare providers, governmental

bodies, and policymakers. Through my professional experiences in economically
disadvantaged communities, I observed a notable absence of primary care facilities and
inadequately qualified healthcare professionals. This stark disparity and the lack of
healthcare facilities in rural areas expose individuals to increased vulnerability and
adverse health outcomes.

Utilizing Peer-Reviewed Articles to Address Limited Healthcare Access

m
The World Health Organization recognizes healthcare as a fundamental human right,
emphasizing the responsibility to provide every citizen with essential health services

co
(Zegeye et al., 2021). Factors contributing to limited healthcare access, such as
geographical location, healthcare provider shortages, transportation challenges, and
lack of awareness, lead to increased morbidity, mortality rates, and financial crises

s.
(Dawkins et al., 2021). Approximately 400 million people globally lack adequate access
to healthcare, resulting in around 8 million deaths and a significant economic burden,

e
particularly in developing countries (Zegeye et al., 2021).

ic
The inclusion of peer-reviewed articles in the annotated bibliography is justified by their
rv
explicit elucidation of the topic, identifying factors contributing to limited healthcare
access, and enabling the development of effective strategies. The articles are recent,
se
ensuring up-to-date information.
ng

The annotated bibliography sources are from diverse databases, including Capella
University’s Library, BioMed Central, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, CINAHL, and
ScienceDirect. Keyword utilization, such as "limited access to healthcare," "lack of
i
rit

availability of health facilities," "healthcare access in low and middle-income countries,"


"healthcare made available," and "the importance of healthcare accessibility," facilitated
W

efficient resource research.

Assessing Credibility and Relevance of Resources


BS

The CRAAP test is employed to evaluate the credibility and relevance of articles.
Developed to ensure the use of authentic and credible resources in describing and
mitigating healthcare issues (Lewis, 2018), CRAAP assesses Currency, Relevance,
Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. The annotated bibliography sources adhere to these
criteria, with emphasis on relevance. Articles are recent, published in reputable journals,
