摘要

背景:苏丹的卫生系统受到持续冲突的严重损害,危及数百万患有慢性疾病的弱势群体的生命,包括糖尿病患者。本研究探讨了糖尿病患者的经历,重点关注他们在持续战争期间获得医疗咨询、药物和血糖监测方面面临的挑战。方法:2024年5月至7月,在苏丹的7家医院和糖尿病中心进行了一项描述性的基于设施的横断面研究,纳入了350名糖尿病患者。采用方便抽样的方法,从目标卫生机构的门诊选择参与者。数据是通过使用结构化问卷采访患者来收集的。结果:60%的参与者在获取药品方面面临挑战,其中药品短缺(65.9%)、药店关闭(44.1%)和安全问题(39.8%)是主要障碍。胰岛素使用者遇到了很大的困难,69.1%的人报告说,由于经常停电,他们无法储存药物。大多数病人(81.1%)在战争期间面临获得医疗服务的挑战。最常见的困难包括交通问题、漫长的等待时间或过度拥挤。战争打乱了34.9%患者的健康饮食习惯。此外,54.3%的患者血糖检测频率下降,这通常是由于缺乏实验室和财政限制。流离失所的病人和Al Mangal市的病人受这些挑战的影响最大。结论:本研究揭示了苏丹持续冲突对糖尿病护理的破坏性影响。医疗服务严重中断,包括药品短缺和资源有限,迫使患者采取危险的应对机制。需要采取紧急行动,包括人道主义援助和创新干预措施,以确保所有苏丹患者获得公平和可持续的糖尿病护理。

Exploring diabetic patients experiences during war in Sudan: insights from a multi-city study.

Background: The health system in Sudan was severely compromised by the ongoing conflict, jeopardizing the lives of millions of vulnerable people suffering from chronic health conditions, including diabetic patients. This study explored the experiences of diabetic patients, focusing on the challenges they faced in accessing medical consultations, medications, and blood glucose monitoring during the ongoing war.

Methods: A descriptive facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted across seven hospitals and diabetes centers in Sudan from May to July 2024, enrolling 350 diabetic patients. Convenient sampling was used to select the participants from the outpatient clinics of the targeted health facilities. Data was collected by interviewing patients using a structured questionnaire.

Results: Sixty percent of participants faced challenges accessing medications, with drug shortages (65.9%), the closure of pharmacies (44.1%), and safety concerns (39.8%) being the major barriers. Insulin users experienced significant difficulties, with 69.1% reporting problems storing their medications due to frequent power outages. The majority of patients (81.1%) faced challenges accessing medical care during the war. The most common difficulties included transportation issues and long wait times or overcrowding. The war disrupted the healthy eating habits of 34.9% of patients. Moreover, 54.3% of patients experienced a decline in blood sugar testing frequency, often due to the unavailability of laboratories and financial constraints. Displaced patients and patients in Al Mangal City suffered the most from these challenges.

Conclusion: This study reveals the devastating impact of the ongoing conflict on diabetes care in Sudan. Severe disruptions to healthcare access, including medication shortages and limited resources, have forced patients to adopt hazardous coping mechanisms. Urgent action is needed, including humanitarian aid and innovative interventions, to ensure equitable and sustainable diabetes care for all Sudanese patients.
