Tiivistelmä
Well-being encompasses health, pleasure, and prosperity, where mental health, including anxiety and depression, is crucial. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened anxieties, lead-ing to social isolation, lack of emotional support, and information gaps. The purpose of the thesis is to describe the challenges of mental health in nursing students and how to pro-mote mental health. The aim is to get current information about nursing students’ mental health and the development of nursing students’ mental health and well-being. The thesis was carried out as a descriptive literature review and 7 articles were selected as sources. This study employs inductive content analysis to organize qualitative data.
The results of the upper class consisted of Students’ mental health challenges, The pan-demic brought change to well-being and Mental health improvements. The study highlights the negative effects of social isolation and stress on nursing students' mental health, includ-ing increased stress, anxiety, and depression. The pandemic has exacerbated these is-sues, with 34.0% experiencing depression and anxiety. The study suggests maintaining psychological well-being through peer interaction, positive psychology therapies, and man-aging nutrition, exercise, and mental health. Mental health promotion is a complex concept that encompasses prevention, protection, and promotion of mental health. It involves a strengths-based strategy to address the determinants of mental health and promote mental well-being. This approach is inclusive and aims to eliminate health inequities by emphasiz-ing collaboration and participation. Research shows that mental health promotion activities enhance mental well-being, reduce mental disease risk, and have positive socioeconomic effects.
