The mediating role of rumination in the relationship between insomnia and non-suicidal self-injury of college students.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a high-risk factor for suicide, which is widespread among college students and is closely associated with psychological issues. Insomnia tends to cause mental instability, and chronic insomnia can trigger severe mood swings, including anxiety, depression, and irritability. It can also lead to memory loss and metabolic disorders. College students are in a critical period of self-development, with significant vulnerability to insomnia and NSSI.
