Abstract：Obj ective:To probe into the relationship between mental health and their critical thinking ability of nursing undergraduates,pro-vide a reliable theoretical basis for promotion of mental health of nurs-ing students and to improve nursing students’critical thinking ability. Methods:Critical thinking scale and SCL 90 symptom self rating scale were used to investigate and analyze 6 3 nursing undergraduates.Re-sults:The total score of nursing undergraduates’critical thinking was (278.35±33.14),in which 37 students with critical thinking score <280(58.73%),23 students with 280 to 349 score(36.51%),≥350 in 3 students(4.76%);SCL 90 showed that there was statistically signifi-cant difference in somatization,obsessive compulsive symptoms,anxi-ety,phobia,psychosis scores between nursing students and domestic youth group norm(P<0.05);the total score of critical thinking was negatively related to total average score of SCL 90(P<0.01).Con-clusion:The mental health of nursing undergraduate is closely related to their critical thinking ability,and it has a certain predictability on their critical thinking ability.To cultivate a good mental health status of nursing students is helpful to improve their critical thinking level.
