Objective This study aimed to analyze the current status of depressive symptoms among middle school students in Jingzhou City in 2023 and the influence of daily lifestyle on these symptoms.Methods A convenience cluster sam-pling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among students in 25 middle schools in Jingzhou City from September 2023 to November 2023.The questionnaire included demographic information and standardized questionnaires.Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis,and binary logistic regression model was used for analysis of influencing factors.Results A-mong the 17,499 valid questionnaires,the prevalence of depressive symptoms among middle school students in Jingzhou City was 32.60％.Univariate analysis revealed that students with unhealthy lifestyles(including internet addiction,insomnia,lack of si-esta,frequent late-night activities,less participation in physical exercise,passive participation in group activities,and unbal-anced dietary habits)had a higher prevalence of depressive symptoms.Moreover,high school students(40.95％)had a higher prevalence than middle school students(27.57％),and females(37.43％)had a higher prevalence than males(27.96％);all differences were statistically significant(P＜0.001).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that being female,being a high school student,internet addiction,insomnia,lack of siesta,frequent late-night activities,less participation in physical exercise,passive participation in group activities,and unbalanced dietary habits were risk factors for depressive symptoms among middle school students in Jingzhou City.Conclusion This study revealed the association between depressive symptoms and daily lifes-tyle among middle school students in Jingzhou City.The prevalence of depressive symptoms was related to factors including being female,being a high school student,internet addiction,insomnia,lack of siesta,unbalanced dietary habits,less participation in physical exercise,and passive participation in group activities.It is recommended to focus on cultivating good daily behavioral habits among students in both school and family environments to improve their mental health.

Background Suicidal ideation serves as a sensitive predictive indicator for non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)behavior,and NSSI behavior brings profound effects to both mental and physical health of senior high school students.Existing studies have made exploration on the relationship among insomnia,anxiety and NSSI behavior in the general population,but the internal mechanism of NSSI behavior in senior high school students with suicidal ideation requires further study.Objective To explore the pathway of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior in senior high school students,so as to provide references for the intervention on NSSI behavior in such demographic.Methods From December 10 to 15,2021,cluster sampling was adopted to select 2 572 senior high school students across three senior high schools in Hubei Province as the research objects.Assessment was conducted by using Insomnia Severity Index(ISI),Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 item(GAD-7)and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation among scores of scales finished by senior high school students with suicidal ideation.Model 4 from the SPSS 20.0 Process 4.2 was employed to test the mediating path of anxiety between insomnia and NSSI behavior.Results A total of 2 421 valid questionnaires(94.13%)were recovered,which revealed 554 cases(22.88%)with suicidal ideation and 408 cases(16.85%)with NSSI behavior.The scores of ISI,GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale of senior high school students with suicidal ideation were higher than those of students without suicidal ideation(Z=17.124,20.611,21.314,P<0.01).As correlation analysis showed,the ISI score of senior high school students with suicidal ideation was positively correlated with scores of GAD-7 and Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.646,0.354,P<0.01),and GAD-7 score was positively correlated with the score of Adolescents Self-Harm Scale(r=0.375,P<0.01).Among senior high school students with suicide ideation,anxiety acted in a mediating role between insomnia and NSSI behavior,with effect value of 0.111(95%CI:0.053～0.185),accounting for 53.88%of the total effect.Conclusion Insomnia of senior high school students with suicidal ideation can not only directly affect NSSI behavior,but also indirectly affect NSSI behavior through anxiety.
