it evaluates the degree of impairment and how these factors reflected in their performance.
The methodology was based on a descriptive quantitative approach, carried out at the Institute
of Health Sciences (ICS) Campus Bethlehem, the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), through
the application of semi structured questionnaire with questions concerning perception college

years. Semester, students most respondents were those who were between the second and
seventh semester. It confirmed the published findings that indicate migration, work, child,
disease and mental illness as factors that influence student performance. Among students who
were exposed to these factors 82.52 % said that migration had a negative influence on your
performance , followed by labor factor with 93.26 % , with 95.45% child factor , factor illness
for over a week with more 95% and over 98 % of affected was due to mental illness . Other
factors were also mentioned, such as financial difficulty (13.03%), Extensa hours / full degree
