Armed conflict is a prevalent global issue that affects both the socioeconomic aspects of society and has profound psychological consequences for those directly involved. This cross-sectional comparative study explored the impact of armed conflict on the self-esteem of nursing students in Sudan and Saudi Arabia. In total, 308 nursing students provided data. The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was used to evaluate nursing students' self-esteem. The findings demonstrated that nursing students who were exposed to armed conflict had lower self-esteem than those who were not. However, based on sex, marital status, and age, no statistically significant differences were observed in the nursing students' self-esteem. The current findings indicate that nursing students exposed to armed conflict have low self-esteem. Interventions providing mental health support are essential for improving their self-esteem. Further research should explore other factors that could impact the self-esteem of nursing students.
武装冲突是一个普遍存在的全球性问题，不仅影响到社会的社会经济方面，而且对直接卷入冲突的人也会产生深远的心理后果。本横断面比较研究探讨了武装冲突对苏丹和沙特阿拉伯护理专业学生自尊的影响。共有 308 名护理专业学生提供了数据。采用罗森伯格自尊量表（RSES）评估护理专业学生的自尊。研究结果表明，经历过武装冲突的护理专业学生的自尊低于未经历过武装冲突的学生。然而，基于性别、婚姻状况和年龄，护理专业学生的自尊没有表现出统计学上的显著差异。目前的研究结果表明，经历过武装冲突的护理专业学生自尊较低。提供心理健康支持的干预措施对于提高他们的自尊至关重要。应进一步研究其他可能影响护理专业学生自尊的因素。
