The study consists of 346 (Ageaverage= 22.47±3.31) volunteers who study in the Faculties of Sports Sciences and Health Sciences located in 3 different provinces of Turkey.

According to the findings, the participants' scores on the career stress scale based on career "uncertainty and lack of knowledge" (p <0.001, Cohen's d = 0.56), "external conflict" (p <0.001, Cohen's d = 0.47), "Pressure to find employment "(p <0.002, Cohen's d = 0.33) and" career stress scale total "(p <0.001, Cohen's d = 0.52) scores were found to be statistically significant. There is a relationship between the career anxiety felt by the generation Y during the COVID-19 Pandemic (p = 0.20; p <0.05).
