Background: Internet gaming has grown rapidly, raising concerns about its mental health effects, particularly on young adults. University students, who are stressed academically, socially, and emotionally, enjoy internet gaming. However, excessive and compulsive gaming can lead to psychiatric issues like Internet Gaming Disorder. The aim was to assess the relationship between internet gaming disorder, impulsivity, and suicidal ideations among university students. Design: A Comparative correlational design was. Sample and setting: 600 Convenient samples of students 338 from the faculty of nursing and 262 students from the faculty of arts. Tools: a Personal data sheet, an Internet gaming disorder questionnaire, Barratt‟s Impulsivity Scale-11, and Morey suicidal ideation scale. Results: showed that the majority of participants in faculty of art students (80.2%) and faculty of nursing students (81.3%) exhibited low levels of impulsiveness. in the faculty of art students‟ group, 92.0% of students reported a low level of suicidal ideation, while 6.2% reported a medium level, and only 1.8% indicated a danger of suicidal ideation. a significant difference in the distribution of suicidal ideation levels (X2 = 6.56, P = 0.038) and mean scores (X2 = 4.281, P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study shows a strong link between university students' impulsivity, internet gaming addiction, and suicidal thoughts. It emphasizes that although impulsivity and suicidal ideation are generally low across nursing and arts students, arts students score marginally higher on internet gaming disorder (IGD) and suicidal ideation. Recommendation: To develop discipline-specific support strategies that address unique stressors and needs, more research on the effects of IGD across disciplines is required.
