This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires and interviewing 260 pre-clinical students of Medical Faculty of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia in 2015. The data were collected and analyzed by using logistic regression.
RESULTS : The results showed that external locus of control (p = 0.009), insomnia (p = 0.002), poor sleep quality (p = 0.049), and ineffective communication with father (p = 0.000) are proven statistically-related to depressive disorder in pre-clinical students of Medical Faculty of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia in 2015. Moreover, the results also showed that external locus of control (p = 0.007), insomnia (p = 0.032), ineffective communication with father (p = 0.001), and cultural looseness (p = 0.000) are proven statistically-related to anxiety disorder in pre-clinical student of Medical Faculty of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia in 2015.
