Tuff question; at times I feel that this negativity discourse acts as a barrier for the profession's growth. Have you ever looked into 'appreciative inquiry'? It's using creativity, imagination and positivity as language to shape change. I find it quite useful when heavy negative talks arise. For instance, "what inspires nurses to use positivity", "what structures do we need in place to sustain positivity" or "how do nurses share a common value for positive work environments". I find that when focusing on negative situations or problems, concurrent problems then surface and morale is challeneged. have a good day, miface
