Resilience across the Ages: A Comparative Study of Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X
Abstract
Background: Psychological resilience and self-efficacy are important constructs influencing how healthcare professionals cope with occupational stress. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was done over six months from October 2025 to March 2026 among healthcare professionals at a tertiary care teaching hospital. Participants completed the Brief Resilience Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, and a copy of sociodemographic questionnaire. Based on age, participants were categorized into Generation Z, Millennials, and Generation X. Results: Resilience and self-efficacy scores were comparable across generational cohorts and between genders (nonsignificantly different). No significant correlation was observed between resilience and self-efficacy. Conclusion: These findings suggest that resilience and self-efficacy may be relatively stable across generational groups in healthcare settings.
