Objective: to analyze the production of knowledge in the scientific literature on the constitution of professional identity in nurses working in the field of mental health. Method: integrative literature review through the Virtual Health Library portal in four databases: Lilacs, Scielo, PubMed and BDENF. The eligibility criteria were full original articles published from 2017-2022 in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Results: the sample was composed of 18 studies grouped into two thematic categories. The results are about the (in)definitions of the work process of nurses working in the mental health field, and about the fragmentation of care and its implications for the constitution of this professional identity. Conclusion: nurses play diversified roles in their daily work, which contributes to an insufficient understanding of their scope of attributions and directly impacts the perception of their professional identity.

Objective: To analyze the interface between the nurse's professional identity and her work process in mental health. Method: An exploratory, qualitative study was conducted in six Psychosocial Care Centers in Salvador - Brazil. The data was collected between June and August 2022 through interviews with ten nurses and was subjected to thematic analysis. Results: the thematic analysis resulted in one category: Identity conflicts and ambiguities, with the themes "Core know-how and the identity of the 'traditional nurse'" and "Field know-how and the vagueness of identity contours". Conclusion: The results point to the need for more in-depth research into the nurse's know-how, which includes the fulfillment of her private activities that are congruent with the production of care in the field of psychosocial care.
