Estilos de liderança em enfermagem e sua relação com a síndrome de burnout em equipes de saúde no ambiente hospitalar

Nursing leadership plays a fundamental role in the organization of hospital services, influencing working conditions, job satisfaction, and the mental health of healthcare teams. In this context, Burnout Syndrome represents an important occupational health problem characterized by emotional exhaustion and associated with high care demands and organizational factors. Objective: To analyze, through scientific literature, the relationship between nursing leadership styles and Burnout Syndrome among healthcare teams in hospital settings. Methods: This study is an integrative literature review with a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory approach, comprising 21 scientific studies published between 2016 and 2025, selected through searches in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, and SciELO databases. Results: The studies showed that transformational, authentic, ethical, servant, and empowering leadership styles were associated with lower levels of emotional exhaustion, greater job satisfaction, increased professional autonomy, and an improved organizational climate. Conversely, authoritarian, tyrannical, and destructive leadership styles were associated with higher levels of burnout, job dissatisfaction, and turnover intention. Effective communication, managerial support, psychological safety, and professional recognition were also identified as important factors in this relationship. Conclusion: Nursing leadership styles are significantly associated with the occupational health of hospital healthcare teams. The adoption of participatory, ethical, and human-centered management practices, combined with improvements in working conditions, represents an important strategy for preventing burnout, promoting professional well-being, and improving the quality of patient care.
