 This study was conducted to determine the relationship between mental health literacy and positive mental health in nursing students. The sample of this descriptive and correlational study consisted of 440 nursing students studying at the nursing faculty of a state university in Istanbul. Data were collected with Personal Information Form, Mental Health Literacy Scale and Positive Mental Health Scale. In addition to descriptive statistics, independent sample t test, One-Way ANOVA test, pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used in data analysis. In this study, it was found that the variables female gender, extended family, dormitory and city living, income status, perception of good mental status and satisfaction with general health were related to positive mental health and the variables female gender, senior student, Anatolian high school graduate, broken family, living in Marmara region and perception of good mental status were factors related to mental health literacy.

 Bu araştırma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinde ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ile pozitif ruh sağlığı arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yürütüldü. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte yürütülen bu araştırmanın örneklemini İstanbulda bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik fakültesinde öğrenim gören 440 hemşirelik öğrencisi oluşturdu. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Ruh Sağlığı Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği ve Pozitif Ruh Sağlığı Ölçeği ile toplandı. Veri analizinde, betimleyici istatistiklerin yanı sıra bağımsız örneklem t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi, pearson korelasyon analizi ve lineer regresyon analizi kullanıldı.Bu araştırmada; kadın cinsiyet, geniş aile, yurtta ve şehirde yaşama, gelir durumu, iyi düzey ruhsal durum algısı, genel sağlığından memnun olma değişkenlerinin pozitif ruh sağlığı ile ilişkili olduğu; kadın cinsiyet, son sınıf öğrencisi olma, anadolu lisesi mezunu olma, parçalanmış aile, Marmara bölgesinde yaşama ve iyi düzey ruhsal durum algısı değişkenlerinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ile ilişkili faktörler olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığı ile pozitif ruh sağlığı arasında pozitif yönde zayıf düzeyde anlamlı ilişki olduğu ve ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığının pozitif ruh sağlığını yordadığı saptandı. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ruh sağlığı okuryazarlığını ve pozitif ruh sağlığını geliştirmeye yönelik uygulamaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
