Correlations to and potential implications of resilience among certified pharmacy technicians
Objectives:
To assess resilience among a sample of certified pharmacy technicians in the United States and evaluate associations between resilience and various personal and work-related characteristics and conditions, including coworker support and pharmacist leadership behaviors, and to assess the relationship between technicians' resilience and support from coworkers and commitment to their organization.
Methods:
This study employed the use of a self-administered questionnaire survey electronically in a cross-sectional design. The questionnaire was delivered with a response portal open for approximately 6 weeks during the spring of 2022 to a sample of 3000 technicians certified through the National Healthcareer Association. The questionnaire consisted of items comprising the Brief Resilience Scale, an adapted version of the Multifactorial Leadership Questionnaire (A-MLQ), and items measuring aspects of coworker support, future uncertainty, commitment, and turnover, in addition to demographic and practice site-related questions.
Results:
Usable responses were acquired from 822 respondents, who reported relatively high levels of resilience. Resilience was observed to be positively correlated with pharmacy transformative leadership behaviors measured on the A-MLQ and with coworker support and negatively correlated with future uncertainty. Respondents indicating the highest level of profession commitment reported a statistically higher level of resilience than did others. There were very few relationships observed between resilience and technicians' personal characteristics.
Conclusions:
Immutable characteristics (e.g., race/ethnicity, sex, and age) played a very small role in describing resilience among pharmacy technicians. Instead, organizational characteristics of the workplace were shown to be highly associative with resilience of technicians, adding further evidence that organizations and the profession can help facilitate resilience among these important pharmacy support personnel.
