Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate nurses' demands on child-care facilities. Methods: The research period was from February 24 to March 20, 2009. The data were collected from 5,033 nurses using self-administered questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS/PC 14.0 program. Results: 71.7% of nurses answered that they would use the child-care at workplace if it is available. 48.1% of nurses answered that operating time of workplace child-care would be for 24 hours. 46.9% of nurses answered that the most important thing they considered in choosing child-care was the quality of child care. Conclusion: Expansion of child-care supports and operation of workplace child-care facility for 24 hours seem necessary for nurses who have children under 6 years old.
