To evaluate the prevalence of suicidal behavior among vocational high school students and assess the mediating effects of insomnia, depression, anxiety, and stress on the link between internet addiction and suicidal behavior.
Conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of vocational high school students in Hunan Province, China, yielding N=7,968 valid responses.
Assessed participants using the Revised Chen Internet Addiction Scale, Athens Insomnia Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21, and Dual-Mode Self-Control Scale.
Modeled direct and indirect pathways from internet addiction to suicidal behavior using structural equation modeling.
High rates of suicidal behavior were observed, with 37.7% of participants reporting suicidal ideation, 15.7% reporting suicide plans, and 21.8% reporting suicide attempts.
Structural equation modeling confirmed that internet addiction was indirectly related to suicidal behavior, fully mediated through insomnia and negative emotional states (depression, anxiety, and stress).
