Design: Cross-sectional design was used. Methods: An anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted targeting 1,091 nurses at two university hospitals. Results: After excluding male nurses and missing data, the data of 891 female nurses were used in the final analyses. The findings can be summarized into the following three points; the first finding was that more than half of the nurses have not engaged in sport and exercise in the past year and running, jogging, and marathon training were the most popular among those who have engaged, the second finding was that the sport and exercise engagement rate of nurses with pre-primary children tends to be lower, and the third finding was that nurses who engaged in sport and exercise 1-2 times a week tended to have higher levels of job satisfaction and intention to continue working in terms of their relationship with their superiors, overtime and workload, approval, and sense of fulfillment compared to nurses who did not engage in sport and exercise at all.
