Objective: This study aims to comprehensively understand, analyze, and describe the strategies employed by nurses in managing risks and disasters amidst the COVID-19 pandemic at Ambato General Hospital. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted at Ambato General Hospital, with the active participation of 25 nurses spanning both direct care and administrative domains. Data collection comprised a meticulously crafted semi-structured interview, which underwent validation through expert judgment, along with a preliminary pilot study. Subsequently, a meticulous thematic content analysis was applied to the amassed information, and ethical principles were consistently upheld throughout the research, ensuring the maintenance of requisite scientific rigor. Results: The process of data analysis and ensuing discussions led to the identification of the following key categories: (I) Perception of the significance of risk management, (II) Outcomes of the social amplification of risk in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, (III) Human talent management within the nursing domain amidst risks and disasters, and (IV) Psychological responses of nursing professionals in the context of risk and disaster management. Conclusions: This study underscores that effective disaster risk management within the hospital setting during a pandemic necessitates meticulous organization, planning, and the implementation of targeted policies and strategies to preemptively address emerging risks. Furthermore, it accentuates the fact that nurses are equipped with the requisite knowledge and skills to proficiently fulfill this pivotal role. The study introduces a conceptual model elucidating how nurses can actively serve as effective risk and disaster managers at the hospital level. It is strongly recommended that the nursing profession be actively engaged in the preparation, response, and recovery phases in the face of threats encountered by an institution. Such active involvement is poised to harness their expertise and make a substantive contribution to the field of risk and disaster management, particularly in the unique context of a pandemic.
