Purpose: Post-COVID-19 workforce issues have pushed terms like resilience and burnout further into the forefront of professional discourse. Strategies aimed to improve resilience, decrease burnout, and increase retention appear to be less effective in the current climate. One potential unexplored contributor is toxic positivity. The purpose of this research is to analyze the concept of toxic positivity and its relevance to nursing. Aims: Research questions; “1) How is toxic positivity used across contexts?; 2) Whose perspectives are represented and whose are not?; 3) What are the dimensions of toxic positivity?; 4) How are the dimensions related?; and 5) How is toxic positivity constructed and used in nursing? Methods: Using Schatzman’s dimensional analysis approach, the first analytic phase, Identification, elucidates relevant conceptual dimensions. The second analytic phase, Logistics, examines relationships among dimensions and contexts. Finally, a dimensional matrix provides conceptualization of toxic positivity for nursing. Results: Preliminary results reveal roots of toxic positivity in the realm of positive psychology with relevant dimensions including unrealistic optimism, inauthentic platitudes, and emotional invalidation and identified contexts including business, psychology, and medicine with no identified contexts in nursing. Primary limitations include limited time to complete this analysis, lack of empirical evidence regarding toxic positivity, and the potential for other unrealized dimensions or contexts. Conclusions: Results suggest nursing perspectives are missing from the literature about toxic positivity. Identifying toxic positivity as a phenomenon in nursing work environments has potential to inform future research and theoretical work related to nursing workforce burnout, retention, and coping strategies.
