Healthcare accessibility, utilization, and quality of life among internally displaced people during the Sudan war: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The ongoing war in Sudan has triggered a massive displacement crisis, leaving internally displaced people (IDP) struggling to access healthcare services. This study aimed to investigate healthcare access, utilization, and the quality of life among Sudanese IDP during the conflict.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was carried out among Sudanese internally displaced people in six states. Quality of life was assessed using the WHOQOL-Bref questionnaire. Accessibility, utilization, and the consequences of not accessing healthcare were evaluated using an author-designed questionnaire, which was piloted prior to the study. Chi-square tests were used to analyze associations between categorical variables, while ANOVA was applied to assess differences in quality-of-life
