Perceived Mental Health Issues, Challenges, and Help-Seeking Behavior Among Hospital Nurses in Panay Island, Philippines: Implications to Mental Health Policies

Author(s) Dr. Clinton R Matorre
Country Philippines
Abstract This study investigates the perceived mental health issues, challenges, and help-seeking behavior among hospital nurses in Panay Island, Philippines. Using a survey-correlational research design, data were gathered from 100 nurses through a researcher-made questionnaire. The findings revealed that nurses face significant mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout. The most commonly reported stressors were high workloads, emotional burdens, and limited access to mental health services. Challenges such as stigmatization, workplace discrimination, and insufficient organizational support were identified as major barriers to help-seeking behavior. However, supportive work environments, peer support, and mental health education were found to facilitate help-seeking behavior among nurses. The study concludes that improving mental health education, access to services, and organizational support is essential to enhancing nurses' well-being and job satisfaction. The results have important implications for mental health policies in healthcare settings.
