Identifying whether perceived stigma or personal stigma more significantly affects nurses' attitudes towards seeking psychological help is essential for effectively addressing current challenges and facilitating early intervention for the well-being of nurses and their patients. ⋯ High levels of personal stigma negatively affect attitudes towards seeking psychological help; however, when considered alongside working in oncology and having a chronic illness, the impact of personal stigma becomes positive. Future research should delve deeper into these dynamics to develop targeted strategies for reducing personal stigma and enhancing help-seeking behaviors among nurses. Interventions are necessary to foster positive help-seeking attitudes among nurses and reduce stigma. Aligned with the findings of this study, training and awareness initiatives aimed at improving mental health literacy among nurses can play a pivotal role in reducing stigma and encouraging proactive use of mental health resources.
