Abstract

Background

Addictive disorders are a significant contributor to the global burden of disease. The burden of addictive disorders in LMIC is expected to grow further over the coming years.

Aims

In this article we present the observations from the existing literature on the current status of education and training on addiction psychiatry in LMIC and provide recommendation on way forward for this specialized field of psychiatry.

Materials and Methods

We searched electronic databases of PubMed to access the literature on the current status of education and training on addiction psychiatry. Additional searches were also conducted in other database of Google Scholar for potential ‘grey’ literature.

Results

We were able to identify a total of 11 relevant articles.

Discussion

Currently there is limited published literature on education and training on addiction psychiatry from the LMICs.

Conclusions

Strengthening of the training on addictive disorders shall not only help bridge the gap of the unmet need for the evidence-based interventions of addictive disorders across these countries it shall also help enhance the research capacity on addictive disorders in these countries.

低收入和中等收入国家的成瘾精神病学教育和培训:来自现有文献的观察和今后的建议

背景:成瘾性疾病是全球疾病负担的一个重要因素。预计中低收入国家成瘾性疾病的负担在未来几年将进一步增加。目的在本文中，我们从现有文献中对中低收入国家成瘾精神病学教育和培训的现状进行了观察，并对这一专业精神病学领域的发展提出了建议。材料与方法检索PubMed电子数据库，获取有关成瘾精神病学教育与培训现状的文献。还在Google Scholar的其他数据库中进行了额外的搜索，以寻找潜在的“灰色”文献。结果我们共识别出11篇相关文章。目前，关于中低收入国家成瘾精神病学教育和培训的出版文献有限。结论加强对成瘾性疾病的培训，不仅有助于弥补这些国家成瘾性疾病循证干预需求未得到满足的差距，而且有助于提高这些国家成瘾性疾病的研究能力。

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.
