Toxic Positivity: An Antidote for Pharmacy. Program 209

Program Description

OBJECTIVES

Toxic positivity in the pharmacy setting can manifest in various ways, often as an overemphasis on maintaining a relentlessly cheerful demeanor despite challenging circumstances. An anecdotal instance might involve a customer expressing genuine concerns about their medication side effects, only to be met with dismissive phrases like "just stay positive" or "it could be worse." Such responses not only trivialize the individual's valid concerns but also fail to address the root of their issue, potentially exacerbating their anxiety or discomfort. By recognizing and addressing toxic positivity within the pharmacy, professionals can cultivate a more empathetic and supportive environment that prioritizes genuine understanding and constructive solutions for patients' healthcare needs.

At the end of this presentation, pharmacists should be able to:

• 1.    Recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism.
• 2.    Identify options to improve workplace culture to reduce employee’s compassion fatigue and/or moral distress.
• 3.    Outline the updates included in COEPA 2022 update and how that may affect the expectations of graduates entering the workforce.

At the end of this presentation, pharmacy technicians should be able to:

• 1.    Recognize the difference between toxic positivity and optimism.
• 2.    Identify options to improve workplace culture to reduce employee’s compassion fatigue and/or moral distress.
• 3.    Outline the updates included in COEPA 2022 update and how that may affect the expectations of graduates entering the workforce.
