These findings highlight the persistent stigma surrounding mental health support among surgical nurses, particularly those experiencing higher burnout. Emotional exhaustion appears to play a critical role in shaping attitudes toward help-seeking, suggesting that burnout interventions should incorporate mental health education to reduce stigma and encourage psychological support utilization. Gender disparities in burnout and stigma further emphasize the need for tailored interventions addressing the unique challenges faced by male and female nurses. Future research should explore organizational and cultural factors influencing psychological help-seeking behaviors and assess the effectiveness of workplace-based mental health interventions
