A convenience sample of 265 nurses was recruited. Data were collected using three standardised tools: the Fortitude Questionnaire (20 items, four\u2010point Likert scale ranging from does not apply to applies very strongly), the Ruminative Response Scale (10 items comprising two subscales: brooding and reflection; responses rated on a four\u2010point Likert scale from 1\u2009=\u2009\u2018never\u2019 to 4\u2009=\u2009\u2018always\u2019), and the Turnover Intention Scale (3 items rated on a five\u2010point Likert scale from 1\u2009=\u2009\u2018strongly disagree\u2019 to 5\u2009=\u2009\u2018strongly agree\u2019).

Regression analysis indicated that both cognitive rumination and psychological fortitude significantly predicted turnover intention. Regarding demographic variables, significant differences were observed in cognitive rumination, psychological fortitude, and turnover intention based on personal characteristics. Specifically, nurses living in rural areas reported higher cognitive rumination and turnover intention, and lower psychological fortitude compared to those living in urban areas (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).

The findings suggest that higher levels of maladaptive cognitive rumination are associated with lower psychological fortitude, whereas greater psychological fortitude is associated with reduced turnover intention. These results underscore the importance of psychological resilience\u2010building interventions to reduce turnover risk among psychiatric nurses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to Mental Health Nursing<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results have particular relevance for mental health nursing, where psychiatric nurses face emotionally intense, trauma\u2010related, and cognitively demanding work. Psychological fortitude emerges as a key protective factor, mitigating intrusive rumination and decreasing departure inclination. Strengthening fortitude among psychiatric nurses is therefore vital for workforce retention, enhancing well\u2010being, and sustaining high\u2010quality care in mental health settings.<\/jats:p>\n
