Abstract

Objective: To explore the developmental trajectory of rumination and job embeddedness among college trainee nurses and examine the predictive relationship between them, with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for improving trainee nurses’ job embeddedness. Design: A longitudinal study. Methods: A total of 405 nursing interns from 12 colleges and universities in China were selected as the survey subjects. They were tracked using the Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) and the Global Job Embeddedness Items (GJEI) at three time points: T1 (initial stage of internship, 1–2 months), T2 (middle stage of internship, 5–6 months), and T3 (completion of internship, 9–10 months). A cross-lagged model was constructed to analyze the causal relationship between the two variables. Results: A total of 382 valid questionnaires were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 94.32%. In analyzing the overall trend from T1 to T3, rumination significantly decreased from a baseline of (44.79 ± 5.28) to (41.61 ± 5.27) (F = 47.360, P
