Due to necessary adaptions after entering undergraduate courses, college students face symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, which can be minimized through self- compassion. The present study aimed to assess these symptoms in college students, in relation to the self- compassion index. After approval by the Research Ethical Committee, a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach was carried out. Data collection was performed with the REDCap platform using validated instruments (DASS-21 and Scale of Self-Compassion) and socio- demographic questions, with the participation of 121 college students of healthcare courses of a public university. Most participants were female (67.7%), residents of the metropolitan region (95.8%) and with a history of psychological monitoring (57.8%). It was observed that as the levels of stress, anxiety and depression increase, the index of self-compassion decreases. This study contributes to a better understanding of the relationship of these constructs.
