The prevalence of IA was 8.4%, while depression was 78%, with a significant relationship connecting depression and IA levels (X\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      \u2009=\u200951.79,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In conclusion, there is a significant relationship connecting depression and IA among UHS. IA is prevalent in this population, and students exhibiting high levels of depressive symptoms are more likely to experience IA. These findings align with broader concerns about the negative psychological impact of IA.
