The purpose of this study was to examine the negative effects of the ``concern for others'' of Japanese nurses on their psychological stress. The psychological stress was understood by the relation between stressor and stress response based on the stress model of Lazarus. We used the concept of the spillover between work and family as the stressor. We adopted W-F-NSP and F-W-NSP as the negative stressor, W-F-PSP and F-W-PSP as the positive stressor, the melancholy as negative stress response, and the health condition as the positive stress response to good mental or physical condition. Data were gathered from 2,983 Japanese nurses in 2004. The average age of respondents was 34.13 (SD=9.69) years. The ``concern'' group (n=656) and the ``non-concern'' group (n= 686) were categorized according to the score of ``concern for others'' items. In the result of correlation analysis among stressor and stress response variables in two groups, although W-F-NSP was a negative stressor, F-W-NSP did not reflect a negative stressor. W-F-PSP and F-W-PSP were almost unrelated to the melancholy and the good health condition in both groups. Furthermore, in the result of comparison of two groups in stressor and stress response variables (t-test), it was proved that the ``concern'' group recognized negative stressor and negative stress response rather than the ``non-concern'' group. Therefore, it was proved that an interpersonal trait of the ``concern for others'' was the individual factor of negative stress in Japanese nurses.
