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\u20132 months), T2 (middle stage of internship, 5\u20136 months), and T3 (completion of internship, 9\u201310 months). A cross-lagged model was constructed to analyze the causal relationship between the two variables.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n 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\u2009\u00b1\u20095.28) to (41.61\u2009\u00b1\u20095.27) (F\u2009=\u200947.360, P\u2009<\u20090.001). Concurrently, the score of job embeddedness increased significantly from (22.42\u2009\u00b1\u20094.89) to (25.48\u2009\u00b1\u20094.60) (F\u2009=\u200925.690, P\u2009<\u20090.001). The level of rumination at a previous time point negatively predicted job embeddedness at the subsequent point (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.403, P\u2009<\u20090.01; \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.411, P\u2009<\u20090.001), and job embeddedness at a previous time point negatively predicted rumination at the next point on average (\u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.397, P\u2009<\u20090.001; \u03b2\u2009=\u2009\u22120.385, P\u2009<\u20090.001). At the initial level, rumination can predict job embeddedness negatively (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.433, P\u2009=\u20090.002), the initial level of rumination can predict the development speed of job embeddedness negatively (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.395, P\u2009=\u20090.005), and the development speed of rumination can positively predict the development speed of job embeddedness (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.450, P\u2009<\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n practice trainee nurses rumination is on the decline, job embeddedness is on the rise.
