Abstrakt: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nursing students' mental health literacy and resilience levels. This cross-sectional study included 676 nursing students who completed the Information Form, Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS), and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The total mean scores of the students' MHLS and BRS were 102.53 ± 11.49 and 18.19 ± 4.02 respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a very weak positive correlation between MHLS and BRS total scores. The nursing students' mental health literacy and resilience levels were moderate. Of them, those with high mental health literacy levels also had higher levels of resilience. This study may provide evidence that increasing societies' mental health literacy levels can also improve resilience levels.
