Abstract

Background: This study evaluates the effect of the ongoing war in Sudan on university students' psychological and academic well-being. Methods To analyze the association between these variables, highlighting how war-related factors indirectly affect the academic performance of higher education students through mental health and financial stress, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed. Results: A sample of 272 students participated in a cross-sectional survey to examine the key factors, including current conflict effects on financial issues, mental health (assessed with the DASS-21), and academic performance. Conclusions: The study reveals a significant correlation between conflict-induced displacement, economic difficulties, severe mental health obstacles, and poor academic achievement, emphasizing the urgent need for supportive interventions for university students.
