Organizational trust, as a beneficial resource for alleviating work-family conflict, has a positive significance for achieving work-family balance. However, the mediating mechanisms of the two dimensions of work rumination\u2014affective rumination and problem-solving pondering\u2014in the relationship between organizational trust and work-family conflict remain unclear.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study design was adopted. From March to May 2025, a convenient sampling method was used to conduct a survey on 240 eligible emergency department nurses from 22 hospitals in Chongqing, who completed the General Information Questionnaire, Organizational Trust Scale, Work Rumination Scale and Work-Family Conflict Scale. Data analysis was performed via structural equation modeling.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The scores of organizational trust, affective rumination, problem-solving pondering and work-family conflict among emergency department nurses were (43.86\u2009\u00b1\u200910.52), (14.18\u2009\u00b1\u20094.24), (16.81\u2009\u00b1\u20094.07) and (48.30\u2009\u00b1\u200913.75) respectively. Nurses who were male, aged 30\u201340 years, married, had two or more children, and worked more than 40\u00a0h per week had higher scores of work-family conflict. Affective rumination and problem-solving pondering exerted parallel mediating effects in the relationship between organizational trust and work-family conflict, with the effect values being \u2212\u20090.088 and \u2212\u20090.131 respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Affective rumination and problem-solving pondering play parallel mediating roles in the association between organizational trust and work-family conflict among emergency department nurses.
