In this systematic review and meta-analysis we aimed to derive pooled H-index benchmarks across professorial academic ranks in psychiatry, and to determine whether H-index differs significantly between successive academic ranks.MethodsPRISMA guidelines were followed in conducting a comprehensive search using the databases Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar. Key search terms included: \"Bibliometrics\", H index\", \"H-index\", \"Career Mobility\", \"academic rank\", \"Faculty, Medical\", \"psychiatry\", \"academic psychiatry\", \"psychiatric\", and \"Psychiatry in Literature\". Papers reporting data on mean H-index stratified by professorial academic rank were included. The DerSimonian and Laird random effects model was used to conduct the meta-analysis.ResultsFour studies (all North American) were included in the systematic review and three in the meta-analysis. Mean H-index increased across successive academic rank. Pooled random effects estimates for mean H-index were: 4.02 (95% CI: 3.01-5.02) for Assistant Professor, 8.04 (95% CI: 6.28-9.79) for Associate Professor, and 21.22 (95% CI: 19.96-22.48) for Full Professor.ConclusionH-index increases with successive academic rank in psychiatry, with pooled benchmarks identified for each professorial level. Available data are limited to North American institutions, underscoring the need for Australasian studies.","PeriodicalId":8630,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"10398562261457051"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148248865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on existing records and historiography, this paper examines the nature of incarceration practices in early colonial Australia prior to the advent of the asylum.ConclusionsConfinement operated across multiple sites, including gaols, assigned labour settings and private households, where authority was exercised through overlapping legal, medical and domestic arrangements. These were not discrete institutional responses but part of a loosely coordinated system in which surveillance and discipline were embedded in everyday colonial life. This analysis highlights how practices of punishment and care developed in tandem, circulating across sites rather than emerging solely within formal institutions. In doing so, it situates early incarceration within broader dynamics of colonial governance and social regulation.This analysis contributes to psychiatric history by illustrating how early Australian asylums emerged from institutions with penal practices, confirming care narratives and underscoring the enduring entanglement of care and control.","PeriodicalId":8630,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"10398562261458882"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148256871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Between-group comparisons were performed using nonparametric tests, followed by age-adjusted regression analyses.ResultsEarthquake survivors exhibited significantly higher anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and poorer subjective sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) compared with controls, and these associations remained significant after age adjustment (all p < 0.05). Daytime sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale) did not differ between groups. Although STOP-BANG scores differed in unadjusted analyses, this association was no longer significant after adjustment for age.ConclusionEarthquake exposure was associated with persistent psychological distress and impaired subjective sleep quality approximately one year after the disaster, independent of age differences. These findings underscore the importance of integrated mental health care and assessment of sleep complaints in disaster-affected populations, while highlighting the need for future studies incorporating objective sleep measures.","PeriodicalId":8630,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"10398562261458899"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148257011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A retrospective analysis of national data for individuals aged 0-25 years (2013-14 to 2023-24) examined hospital separations and community contacts for substance-use, mood, neurotic/stress-related, and behavioural/emotional disorders. Diagnoses were mapped to GBD categories. Age-standardised and age-specific rates were calculated, and temporal trends were assessed using Joinpoint regression.ResultsHospitalisation rates for depressive, anxiety, bipolar, and substance-use disorders rose until 2021 and then declined. Community service use strongly correlated with hospital trends, particularly for mood and anxiety disorders. GBD data showed sustained increases in anxiety (6.5%), modest growth in depression (1.7%), and slight decline in substance-use disorders (-0.5%).ConclusionYouth mental health care in Australia is shifting toward community-based services, with reduced hospital reliance. Rising internalising disorders, especially anxiety, reflect the need for sustained, system-wide strategies that address clinical care and underlying determinants.","PeriodicalId":8630,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"10398562261458881"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148248921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined how private psychologists decide whether to accept adolescent referrals within a mixed public and private mental health system.MethodSemi structured interviews were conducted with 14 purposively sampled private psychologists across three practice groups. These comprised those seeing 12 to 19 year olds, those with an adults only focus, and those who accepted adolescents selectively. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsWillingness to accept adolescent referrals reflected the interaction of interest and feasibility appraisals. Interest was shaped by comfort, perceived fit, interpretations of adolescent reluctance, and beliefs about therapeutic leverage. Feasibility appraisals filtered interest through judgements about whether adolescent work could be delivered safely and sustainably in private practice, including competence and scope concerns, system fragmentation, limited consultation and escalation options, and business viability. These appraisals were associated with conditional engagement strategies such as age thresholds and caseload limits.ConclusionsWillingness to accept adolescent referrals was appraisal-based and potentially modifiable. Improving access may require both supporting interest formation and strengthening feasibility conditions, including consultation and escalation pathways across sectors.","PeriodicalId":8630,"journal":{"name":"Australasian Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"10398562261458946"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148238553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
