Amidst the uncertainty, adaptability emerged as essential. The crisis also created space for innovations in flexibility and revealed the central role of peer support and teamwork in coping. Moreover, the importance of self\u2010care, particularly through maintaining boundaries between professional and personal life, was widely recognised as crucial to sustaining well\u2010being.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Implications for Nursing Management<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nursing management has an important role in sustaining staff well\u2010being during prolonged crisis conditions. Given the centrality of peer support and teamwork as coping strategies, nursing managers should prioritise team cohesion through structured opportunities for connection and debriefing. Organisational approaches should also move beyond short\u2010term gestures and embed accessible, proactive well\u2010being supports that enable boundaries and recovery over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Reporting Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study adheres to the COREQ reporting guidelines.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants in this study were registered nurses employed in two regional public hospitals in Queensland, Australia.
