Purpose I examined whether nursing skills are related to occupational stress, self‐focus, and other‐consciousness, and whether these relationships differ between general and psychiatric nurses. Design and methods Two hundred seventy‐one general and 317 psychiatric nurses completed a questionnaire assessing the aforementioned variables. Regression analysis was used to explore the predictors of nursing skills. Findings Internal and fantastic aspects (other‐consciousness subscales) and psychological burden (occupational stress subscale) predicted nursing skills in both groups, while lower rumination and higher reflection scores predicted them only in psychiatric nurses. Practice implications Nursing education should facilitate other‐consciousness in general nurses, but self‐focus in psychiatric nurses.
