Depression was significantly related to method of direct admission to the medical school (p=0.012), the avoidance coping style (p=0.001) and high level of family influence on career development (p=0.013). The total scores of depression had positive correlation with the avoidance coping style (r=0.46, p=0.001) and family influence on career development (r=0.12, p=0.03)
