War exposure and mental health in Sudanese medical students: the roles of psychological flexibility and self-esteem
Overview
This study examines the impact of war exposure on depression, anxiety, psychological inflexibility, and self-esteem among 148 Sudanese medical students. It reports that while war-exposed students experienced higher levels of depression and anxiety, these groups did not differ significantly in psychological inflexibility or self-esteem. The research identifies psychological inflexibility and low self-esteem as independent predictors of worse mental health outcomes for both exposed and non-exposed students.
