Abstract

Objective: to analyse the mental health of nursing students. Method: Systematic review of 15 scientific articles. Results and conclusion: Mental health problems are a significant concern among nursing students, with high rates of stress, anxiety, depression and burnout. The promotion of protective factors such as resilience, social support and self-efficacy emerges as a promising strategy. In this sense, interventions based on meditation and mindfulness have proven effective in reducing symptoms of psychological distress.
