dc.description.abstractBackground: The armed conflict in Sudan has resulted in the displacement of over 10 million people, placing an unprecedented psychological burden on the civilian population, especially university students. Exposure to war-related trauma is known to significantly impact mental health, academic performance, and social functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common and disabling consequences of such trauma. Objectives: This study aims to assess the prevalence of PTSD among Sudanese university students affected by the ongoing war and to investigate the relationship between PTSD symptoms and academic as well as social performance. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among university students in conflict-affected regions of Sudan. A structured questionnaire including the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), a Trauma Exposure Scale, and academic and social functioning tools was administered. The tools were translated into Arabic where necessary, tested for clarity, and validated for local context. Data analysis was performed using SPSS, and results were presented in dummy tables and descriptive statistics. Findings: Preliminary findings show a high prevalence of PTSD symptoms among the respondents. There were strong correlations between trauma exposure and academic underachievement, absenteeism, reduced concentration, and impaired social engagement. Female students and those with direct exposure to violent events reported significantly higher PTSD scores. These findings align with previous literature on trauma in conflict settings (e.g., Badri et al., 2012; Hussein et al., 2025). Conclusion: The war in Sudan has severely affected the mental health and academic trajectories of university students. There is a critical need for integrated mental health support, trauma-informed academic interventions, and policy measures to support this vulnerable population. Addressing PTSD in educational institutions can play a vital role in rebuilding individual resilience and societal recovery in post-conflict Sudan
