To further validate this hypothesis, the aim of this study is to investigate the association between social media use and depression among International Islamic University Malay-sia Kuantan students. This cross-sectional study involved 227 students of IIUM Kuantan from three Kulliyyahs; Kulli-yyah of Allied Health Sciences (KAHS), Science (KOS) and Dentistry (KOD).

This study indicated that the level of social media-related depression among students in selected Kulliyyah in IIUM Kuantan was low (n=61, 26.9%). Body im-age dissatisfaction, online harassment, sleep disturbance and high self-esteem were significantly associated with low depression level. Socio-demographic factors which are the types of kulliyyah and working part-time were found to be significantly associated with depression, with the p-value of 0.002 and 0.012 respectively.
