dc.description.abstractBackground: Sudan’s armed conflict, which escalated in April 2023, has severely disrupted higher education, particularly medical training which depends on stable infrastructure and clinical exposure. Students at private institutions like Napta College have faced academic, psychological, and financial challenges due to displacement, insecurity, and limited institutional support. Aim: To assess the impact of Sudan’s armed conflict on the academic performance of medical students at Napta College during April 2025. Methodology: Adescriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured, self-administered online questionnaire. The survey targeted all medical students at Napta College. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, including descriptive statistics and Fisher’s Exact Test for categorical comparisons. Results: Out of 800 enrolled students, 71 participated. A total of 62.7% of displaced students and 66.7% of non-displaced students were able to continue their education; the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.795). However, 74.6% of students reported moderate to severe impacts on lectures and clinical training. Psychological distress was common, with 71.8% not seeking psychological support. Furthermore, 80.3% had limited access to learning materials, and 46.5% reported moderate to severe financial difficulties. Despite this, 77.5% of students adopted coping strategies. Conclusion: While displacement alone did not significantly affect educational continuation, the broader impacts of conflict—including academic disruption, limited resources, financial hardship, and psychological stress—negatively affected students’ academic performance. Targeted institutional, psychological, and financial support is urgently needed to sustain medical education during crises.
