BACKGROUND: The quality of nursing care in mental health is essential in the lives of children and adolescents. AIM: To describe the nurse's role with the child and adolescent public in mental suffering. METHOD: Integrative literature review on the VHL and EBSCO databases, from selected descriptors. The sample consisted of 15 articles, published between 2013 and 2017, available in full electronic form and in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. RESULTS: Nurses work through the management and organization of care and consider the individualized and respectful look. What is sought is the promotion of the autonomy and resocialization of these young people and their families, from the inclusion of the caregiver in the planning of care. CONCLUSION: The expanded look and variety of interventions performed by nurses makes their practice complex and fundamental to the quality of life of these young people. The differential in its performance lies in open, reflective and scientifically grounded knowledge.
