ARTICLE CRITIQUE II Article Critique II: Secondary Area of Study Purpose of Study, Research Methods, and Results Healthcare has been the backbone of the United State of America for decades and the purpose is to serve the American people and their needs. We’ve done an incredible job getting medical technologies in this country but inspite of that, we’ve still in the lower half of giving care to the citizens of this nation (Gunja et al., 2023). In the United States, the topic of healthcare has been a constant debate and one that we should be concerned about. The cost of Americans pay in healthcare services have been an alarming one to say the least. Despite the spending, we have not been able to achieve the numbers set to achieve, and we have not had better health outcomes that we’ve hope for. In the article “Health Disparities in the United States: Social Class, Race, Ethnicity, and the Social Determinants of Health (3 rd ed.).”, It helps us to recognize some of the reasons to why American is behind the curve despite the large amount of money spent on healthcare (Barr, 2022). The purpose of this study is to link public and community healthcare and resiliency to see how best both can come together to solve the issues on PTSD which is an ongoing crisis in the healthcare field. In the article it spoke on race, ethnicity, and social determinants and how best we can make healthcare better for its patience (Barr, 2022). The extreme high cost of healthcare not only burdens individuals and families but it also put a strain on the nation's economy and public health infrastructures not to mention race and ethnicity which is a factor on receiving adequate care. The United States of America spends approximately 17% of its GDP on
ARTICLE CRITIQUE II healthcare alone which is on heard of for a country that’s still sitting at the bottom of the healthcare rankings (Barr, 2022). It is significantly higher than any average spending of other high-income countries in the world (Gunja et al., 2023). Despite the U.S. investing millions, the care of individuals with PTSD haven’t been invested in. Over the years, mental health has been overlooked, underfunded and thousands of our military services members and veterans have been taken for granted after laying their lives on the line to fight for our freedom. Healthcare disparities are mostly found in different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups and this can be found mostly in the United States of America because race is always an issue with healthcare (Barr, 2022). The costs of prescription drugs, medical procedures - surgeries, and overnight hospital stays does contribute to the financial hardships faced by many Americans which makes healthcare impossible access. Dealing with a mental break down and having PTSD episode is no better because of the lack of resources. Interdisciplinary Focus The article shows the connection between resilience and public and community health and how it can better serve us as individuals. Healthcare focuses on individual care, while public health focuses and emphasizes on the well-being on the community and the entire population. Public health does initiate preventative measure to promote healthy living and addressing PTSD on the highest level and it is one way have helping with combat related and physical trauma. Military resilience does play an important role in support of healthcare and public health efforts to ridicule any issues that may arrive. The military's healthcare system uses TRICARE to provides medical care and services to all active-duty service members, veterans, DoD members and their families. Resiliency is about fighting through mental, emotional, and social well-being
