Relação de amizade no processo de tolerância durante o período acadêmico

Abstract

Objective: To investigate and analyze the importance of friendships in the tolerance process during the academic period. Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytical and quantitative study, conducted with 276 health students from a private institution in the state of Goiás. A sociodemographic form and the Instrument for the Assessment of Tolerance in Friendship Relationships were applied. The analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and linear regression, with backwar method. Results: There was a predominance of low tolerance in friendships (53.2%). Interpersonal relationships of friendships make it easier for students to stay in the course. It is found that being single, the religion practiced, the chosen undergraduate course and the period of the course in which the student is enrolled are factors that contribute to increased tolerance to friendships. Conclusion: Students have low tolerance in friendship relationships and sociodemographic factors contribute to increase their tolerance in such relationships.
