Nurses' mental health literacy is the core ability of nurses to identify, manage and promote mental health. As the core force of the medical team, nurses have been in high-intensity and high-stress working environments for a long time. Their mental health literacy level is directly related to their professional burnout, nursing quality and patient safety, and has become a key factor affecting the quality of medical services and industry stability. At present, relevant researches still lack the integration of theory and practice. This article systematically reviews the research progress of nurses' mental health literacy from five aspects: conceptual connotation, assessment tools, influencing factors, current characteristics and intervention strategies. It aims to provide scientific basis and strategic guidance for nursing management and education practice, thereby promoting the improvement and development of nurses' mental health support system, and optimizing nursing quality and patient prognosis.
