ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The nurse specialist in mental and psychiatric health nursing should have the intervention based on the needs in mental health identified, with health promotion activities, disease prevention and rehabilitation assistance in all contexts. Disaster situations cause a number of changes in the person with mental illness and there is a greater risk of changes after the experience of a stress situation, and this professional has a preponderant role. AIM: To verify the mental health nursing needs of people with mental illness after disaster-related. METHODS: Systematic review of the literature was done through the research in several databases, using the descriptors in Portuguese and English. The criteria for inclusion in the selection of articles were as follows: people over 18 years of age, experience of a disaster situation, original articles with a publication date between 2014 and 2018. RESULTS: Six studies were obtained: 5 presented quantitative methodology and a cross-sectional qualitative methodology. CONCLUSIONS: With the studies of this review it was possible to verify that people present numerous responses to mental health, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and symptoms of depression after a stress situation, however, it was not possible to perceive the real needs in mental health nursing because only one study was centered on a community mental health program, but it was not effective. There is a need for more studies to be made available in this area.
