The paper is dedicated to the investigation of key indicators of empathy among pharmacy professionals in Ukraine, and its structural elements. It has been established that pharmacy professionals, in whom the sense of empathy is better developed, are sensitive to even the smallest social manifestations, which helps them better understand the people and greatly improves the quality of pharmaceutical aid provided. It has been found that the majority of the studied specialists have an optimal level of empathy, which significantly simplifies their psychological adaptation to possible interpersonal complications related to the psycho-emotional state of others and helps to develop an optimal strategy of behavior in interpersonal communication.
