Eligible participants were nurse leaders and managers who were involved in decision making and management of the nursing workforce for the COVID\u201019 response or who served on a COVID\u201019 response team at each study hospital. Data were analysed using inductive content analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Four main themes emerged from the interview data, each with subthemes: exacerbated inherent vulnerabilities, highlighting existing nursing shortages and financial constraints; delay to systematic response, with frequent government ad\u2010hoc orders increasing disruptions to on\u2010site operations and inefficiencies of the external workforce; creation of new conflicts, including those related to nursing staff deployment and compensation gaps and demands on new leadership, with the need for effective crisis management and visionary leadership.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results indicate that nurse leaders and managers face unexpected challenges in effectively planning their nursing workforce during the pandemic. These challenges are further compounded by centralised ad\u2010hoc government orders that prioritise the urgent demands of COVID\u201019 patient care, often overlooking the unique needs and circumstances of individual hospitals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Impact<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There is a need for more flexible and localised workforce planning strategies to better support nurse leaders and managers. Furthermore, ongoing collaboration between healthcare leaders and policymakers is crucial to address the disconnect between centralised government\u2010led responses and hospital\u2010specific needs, which could enhance the resilience of the nursing workforce and improve disaster and emergency preparedness in the future.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Reporting Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>COREQ checklist was used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>No patient or public contribution.
