Abstract	:	Background: students in the modern world are busy using social media for different purposes and activities. Misuse of social media applications can have a negative impact on student's psychological health. Aim: to determine the relationship between social media use and depression among nursing students in King Abdulaziz University. Methods: descriptive correlational study design was conducted among 267 nursing students in nursing college at king Abdulaziz university in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected by using the Social Media Use Integration Scale (SMUIS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scale to assess the relationship between depression and social media use among nursing students. Results: social media use among nursing students was high, while depression level was mild and there was a statistically significant relation between social media and level of depression among nursing students at the King Abdulaziz University. Conclusion and Recommendations: the analysis of the collected data revealed that there was a statistically significant positive moderate correlation between social media use and depression among nursing students at the University. Hence, it is essential to establish an educational program through routine checkups for depression level among nursing students besides arranging for weekly group discussion, consultation to express feelings and thoughts, which will create a supportive academic environment.
