Abstract Introduction-Purpose: With the widespread use of technology in every aspect of daily life, social media addiction can cause negative situations such as anxiety about the future and increased unemployment anxiety. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between social media addiction and unemployment anxiety of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department students. Material-Method: 180 students between the ages of 18-35 studying at Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department participated in our study (Female n=148 (%82.2), male n=32 (%17.8)). “Social Media Addiction Scale (SMAS)” was used to assess social media addiction, and “Unemployment Anxiety Scale (UAS)” was used to determine unemployment anxiety. SMAS consists of the sub-dimensions “Busyness” (SMAS-B), “Emotion-State Regulation” (SMAS-E), “Conflict” (SMAS-C), and “Repetition” (SMAS-R). UAS consists of the subdimensions “Personal Pessimism and Lack of Self-Confidence” (UAS-P), “Environmental and Social Pressure” (UAS-E), “Qualitative Knowledge and Skill Deficiency” (UAS-Q) and “Employment Difficulties in the Economy” (UAS-ED). Findings: Our participants’ social media addiction was at a low and moderate addiction level (88.68 ± 27.34). Their unemployment anxiety levels were moderate (71.73 ± 1.06). A positive and low-level correlation was found between social media addiction and unemployment anxiety (r=0.209 p<0.05). Between SMAS-B and all subdimensions of UAS (r=0.193 p=0.009, r=0.246 p<0.01, r=0.220 p=0.003, r=0.184 p=0.013, respectively); between SMAS-E and UAS-E and UASQ (r=0.223 p=0.003, r=0.277 p<0.01, respectively); between SMAS-R and UAS-P, UAS-E and UAS-Q (r=0.155 p=0.038, r=0.275 p<0.01, r=0.190 p=0.011, respectively); It was observed that there was a low level of positive correlation between SMAS-C and UAS-E and UAS-Q (r=0.231 p=0.002, r=0.215 p=0.004, respectively). Conclusion: The level of unemployment anxiety increases with social media addiction in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department students. Ensuring the use of social media without addiction and developing strategies for this can contribute positively to reducing the unemployment anxiety levels of students.
