Abstract
Objective: Identify the elements that feature the clinical nursing care particularities and the Nursing Process in Mental Health. Methods: We adopted an integrative literature review. The survey was conducted in May and June 2018, in the Virtual Health Library. We identified 171 articles. After the inclusion criteria analysis, this number decreased to 11 articles. We presented and discussed the results in three categories. Results / Discussion: In 2015, 2014, and 2011 there were the highest number of publications - two (18.18%); in 2005, 2006, 2012, 2018, there were one in each (9.09%). Category 1 dealt with the reorientation of Nursing Clinical Care in Mental Health. Category 2 highlighted Theories of Nursing and the Field of Mental Health.
