Popis: This study examines the psychological repercussions of the April 15th conflict in Sudan, addressing a gap in existing literature on severe mental health issues in post-conflict settings. It emphasises the impact beyond individual experiences, highlighting broader societal dynamics and the need for culturally tailored mental health interventions. This study used a quantitative approach through a cross-sectional design. This study analysed online survey responses from 134 participants (61.9% male, 32.1% female; Mean Age = 26.66, SD = 4.67). It employed the Arabic version of the Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) DASS-21 questionnaire. The findings reveal significant psychological impacts, with "extremely severe" levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive mental health strategies in post-conflict recovery efforts in Sudan.
