Data were collected using online group discussion method. The sample consisted of 7 experts, who were purposively selected. The research tool consisted of a general information questionnaire and a structured interview. Data were analyzed using content analysis.
The results showed that the nurse managers in ACF applied leadership indicating vision, commitment to problem solving, clinical decision-making, directing, resource planning, training, public relations, communication, network collaboration, awareness of receiving information, and management of the pandemic. The management contained space management, staff, supplies, and systems in the 3 phases.
