##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Effective leadership is crucial in nursing during crises such as public health emergencies, natural disasters, and pandemics. Nurse leaders play a pivotal role in rapid yet informed decision-making and clear communication, providing stability and reassurance. Emotional intelligence supports their ability to manage stress and support their teams. Flexible leadership models enhance collaboration across disciplines and optimize disaster response. Promoting self-care and peer support among nursing staff helps mitigate burnout risks. While challenges such as resource limitations and communication barriers persist, continuous research and improvement in evidence-based strategies are necessary for successful crisis management in healthcare. Strong nursing leadership is essential for ensuring effective navigation and management of challenging situations.
