Abstract

Introduction

This study aims to review recent scientific publications and research output in the field of psychiatry, from a series of countries in the Asia-Pacific region (Australia, India, Indonesia, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, and Nepal), with a view to identify themes and similarities across regions, as well as to examine the barriers and challenges in mental health research faced by countries in the region.

Methods

Seven psychiatrists from seven countries reviewed recent published and ongoing research in psychiatry in their respective nations, with respect to themes, as well as any barriers or challenges faced by mental health researchers.

Results

While the seven nations included in this review vary in terms of research capabilities and economic development level, they share many similarities both in terms of research direction, and with regards to challenges faced. Limitations in the form of sociocultural differences from the West, and a lack of funding were some of the barriers identified.

Discussion

Mental health research in the region has been progressing well. However, more varied research in the form of qualitative or economic studies are lacking, as are multi-center studies. The similar issues that nations face with regards to research could perhaps benefit from collaborative efforts and initiatives for the furtherance of research in the region.

亚太地区精神病学研究现状

本研究旨在回顾亚太地区一系列国家(澳大利亚、印度、印度尼西亚、伊朗、黎巴嫩、马来西亚和尼泊尔)在精神病学领域的最新科学出版物和研究成果，以期确定各地区的主题和相似之处，并审查该地区各国在精神卫生研究方面面临的障碍和挑战。方法来自7个国家的7位精神病学家回顾了各自国家最近发表的和正在进行的精神病学研究，以及精神卫生研究人员面临的任何障碍或挑战。结果本综述所包括的7个国家虽然在研究能力和经济发展水平方面有所不同，但在研究方向和面临的挑战方面有许多相似之处。与西方的社会文化差异和缺乏资金是确定的一些障碍。本地区的精神卫生研究进展良好。然而，缺乏定性或经济研究形式的更多样化的研究，也缺乏多中心研究。各国在研究方面面临的类似问题或许可以从促进该区域研究的合作努力和倡议中受益。

期刊介绍： Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrics. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatric and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, education programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behaviour, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist''s corner, meeting reports, a journal club and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
