Darren Poinen is an Australian researcher whose indexed scholarly record includes collaborative research addressing the transition to parenthood, health promotion, maternity care and psychosocial dimensions of family wellbeing. His documented publication record includes a 2018 article in the British Journal of Midwifery, co-authored with Melissa Buultjens, Gregory Murphy, Jeannette Milgrom and Ann Taket. The article examined a multifaceted psycho-educational group programme for first-time parents and reported outcomes concerning adjustment to parenthood, parenting competence, breastfeeding and mother-infant attachment [1].

Abstract

This academic recognition profile presents the documented research record of Darren Poinen in the context of the Lifetime Achievement Award. Available bibliographic information identifies one indexed document and nine citations, with an h-index of 1. His principal documented contribution is a collaborative study published in 2018 that investigated a group health-promoting programme supporting first-time parents. The study used an alternate-allocation design involving intervention and comparison groups and examined psychosocial and behavioural outcomes associated with the transition to parenthood [1].

Keywords

Darren Poinen; Economics, Econometrics and Finance; health promotion; parenthood transition; maternity care; psycho-educational programmes; perinatal research; interdisciplinary collaboration.

Introduction

Research surrounding the transition to parenthood incorporates public health, psychosocial wellbeing, maternity care and family support. Poinen’s documented publication contributes to this interdisciplinary area by examining a structured group intervention designed for first-time parents. The publication appeared in volume 26, issue 6 of the British Journal of Midwifery, on pages 387–397 [2].

Research Profile

The available Scopus record identifies Darren Poinen under Author ID 57202402769, with one indexed document, nine citations and an h-index of 1. These metrics represent the currently supplied bibliographic record rather than a comprehensive assessment of all scholarly activity. The documented subject classification is Economics, Econometrics and Finance.

Research Contributions

The principal documented contribution concerns development and pilot evaluation of a multifaceted psycho-educational programme for first-time parents. The study compared an intervention group of ten participants with a comparison group of eight participants receiving routine care supplemented by a weekly telephone call. Reported findings included lower depression scores and exclusive breastfeeding in the intervention group, alongside trends involving adjustment to parenthood, parenting competence and mother-infant attachment [3].

Publications

Buultjens, M.; Murphy, G.; Milgrom, J.; Taket, A.; Poinen, D. “Supporting the transition to parenthood: Development of a group health-promoting programme.” British Journal of Midwifery, 26(6), 387–397, 2018. [3].

Research Impact

The supplied research record indicates nine citations for the indexed publication. Its contribution is notable for linking health promotion with practical support during the transition to parenthood. The study’s reported outcomes provide an evidence base for considering group-based learning, skills development and social support within perinatal programmes [1]. Citation metrics should be interpreted alongside publication scope, collaboration, disciplinary context and the availability of additional records.

Award Suitability

For the Global Innovation Technologist Awards, the Lifetime Achievement Award assessment may consider the documented research contribution, scholarly continuity, interdisciplinary relevance and evidence of research influence. Based solely on the supplied record, Poinen demonstrates a published contribution involving collaborative and applied research. The available bibliometric indicators are modest, and a comprehensive lifetime assessment would require additional verified evidence covering the researcher’s broader academic career.

Conclusion

Darren Poinen’s documented scholarly profile includes a peer-reviewed contribution addressing health-promoting support for first-time parents. The publication demonstrates interdisciplinary collaboration and an applied focus on psychosocial and family health outcomes. The supplied Scopus indicators record one document, nine citations and an h-index of 1. These findings provide a concise evidence base for recognition review while acknowledging that broader career evidence would be necessary for a definitive lifetime assessment.
