INTRODUCTION

The world has experienced an accelerated process of social, political, cultural and economic development due to technological revolution, demographic transformations and globalization. Health services keep pace with these changes through a dynamic work process, in which nurses participate and assume management positions(11. Balsanelli AP, Cunha ICKO. Nursing leadership in intensive care units and its relationship to the work environment. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(1):106-13.). In this context, health organizations need coordination, services require leading and staffs call for supervision, which demands the development of leaders in these organizations and the adoption of leadership behaviors, such as initiative, standpoint defense, commitment to work and team motivation(22. Santos I, Castro CB. Estilos e dimensões da liderança: iniciativa e investigação no cotidiano do trabalho de enfermagem hospitalar. Texto Contexto Enferm. 2010;17(4):734-42.).

It is valid to emphasize that the environment where a leader acts may change their actions; one example is the organizational policies that determine the rules to be followed, because they limit the way leadership is executed. In this regard, the increasing requirements of productivity and quality widen the requisites of qualification of the workers in an unstable and flexible labor market and make the implementation of formation and management models based on professional skills more generalized(33. Bueno AA, Bernardes A. Percepção da equipe de enfermagem de um serviço de atendimento pré-hospitalar móvel sobre o gerenciamento de enfermagem. Texto Contexto Enferm. 2010;19(1):45-53.44. Costa DG, Dall'Agnol CM. Participative leadership in the management process of nightshift nursing. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2011;19(6):1306-13.).

To meet these needs, a good leader must present a set of characteristics, among which the most prominent are vision, competence, communication and problem-solving skills, decision-making ability, planning, emotional stability and a good relationship with the team(55. Stewart CDW. Leaders, managers, and employee care. Health Care Manag (Frederick). 2012;31(1):94-101.). However, the leadership developed by a nurse requires an individual development plan that includes knowledge, skills, attitudes and values for the practice of their competences(11. Balsanelli AP, Cunha ICKO. Nursing leadership in intensive care units and its relationship to the work environment. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(1):106-13.).

Therefore, the performance and efficiency of chief nurses depend on their communication abilities, knowledge about the different management and leadership styles and the organizational environment(66. Eustace A, Martins N. The role of leadership in shaping organisational climate: an example from the fast moving consumer goods industry. SA J Industr Psychol. 2014;40(1): Art.#1112.). In this aspect, communication is one of the management skills responsible for the success or failure of interpersonal relationships in the workplace, in addition to helping detect issues and plan changes(77. Lanzoni GMM, Meirelles BHS. Leadership of the nurse: an integrative literature review. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2011;19(3):651-8.). It is important that nurses understand the leadership process and develop the necessary competences, among which communication, interpersonal relationship, and decision-making and clinical skills, to succeed in their assistance(88. Silva DS, Bernardes A, Gabriel CS, Rocha FLR, Caldana G. A liderança do enfermeiro no contexto dos serviços de urgência e emergência. Rev Eletron Enferm. 2014;16(1):211-9.).

Other factors that may influence leadership quality are cooperation among team members, the role model offered by the leader, and the leadership style. Thus, the establishment of trust by the leader motivates the staff to work and promotes good relationships in the organization. However, when these conditions are not induced by the leader, there are losses to the institution(99. Asegid A, Belachew T, Yimam E. Factors influencing job satisfaction and anticipated turnover among nurses in Sidama Zone Public Health Facilities, South Ethiopia. Nurs Res Pract. 2014;2014:909768.).

Considering that the subject "professional competence” is a current focus of attention among nurses and that nursing staffs represent the majority of human resources in health institutions, especially in hospitals, the mobilization of competences among these professionals may influence results significantly, mainly in terms of care efficacy, quality and costs(1010. Camelo SHH. Competência profissional do enfermeiro para atuar em unidades de terapia intensiva: uma revisão integrativa. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2012;20(1):192-200.).

In this scenario, it is pertinent to identify the ideal profile and competences of the chief nurse, taking into account the health organization perspective, that will choose a professional according to requirements of the labor market and the population. Leaders will meet the needs of their teams when the values that they advocate are noticed by the members and the competences recognized. This situation stresses the need to know the satisfaction level of the healthcare team and to evaluate its perception about the chief nurse to suggest improvements(1111. van Quaquebeke N, Kerschreiter R, Buxton AE, van Dick R. Two lighthouses to navigate: effects of ideal and counter-ideal values on follower identification and satisfaction with leaders. J Bus Ethics. 2010;93(2)293-305.).

Application of simplified and objective leadership evaluation instruments allows to assess the most common leadership styles, models and theories in Brazilian healthcare institutions. This originated the question: "What instruments are used to evaluate leadership in nursing and healthcare services?” The goal of the present study was to identify the scientific evidence reported on literature about the use of instruments to validate leadership in nursing and health services and verify patterns in leadership styles/ models/theories in the elaboration of these tools.

METHODS

The present study is part of a dissertation entitled “A utilização de instrumentos para avaliação da liderança nos serviços de saúde e enfermagem"(1212. Carrara GLR. A utilização de instrumentos para avaliação da liderança nos serviços de saúde e enfermagem [dissertação]. Ribeirão Preto (SP): Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo; 2016.). The chosen methodology was the integrative literature review because it facilitates access to scientific knowledge worldwide and contributes to research and clinical practice(1313. Paula CC, Padoin SMM, Galvão CM. Revisão integrativa como ferramenta para tomada de decisão na prática de saúde. In: Lacerda MR, Costenaro RGS, organizadores. Metodologias da pesquisa para a enfermagem e saúde: da teoria à prática. Porto Alegre: Moriá; 2016. p. 51-76.).

The integrative review was executed in six steps: design of the research subject, sampling or literature survey of primary studies, collection of primary studies, critical assessment of primary studies, analysis and synthesis of review results and presentation of the integrative review(1414. Galvão CM, Mendes KDS, Silveira RCCP. Revisão integrativa: método de revisão para sintetizar as evidências disponíveis na literatura. In: Brevidelli MM, Sertório SCM, editores. TCC: Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso: guia prático para docentes e alunos da área da saúde.São Paulo: Iátria; 2010. p.105-26.).

The design of the research question was carried out through the use of the PICO strategy, an acronym that stands for Population (P), Intervention (I), Comparison (C) and Outcomes (O), whose objective is to guide the design of the research question and the systematic bibliographic survey to allow the desired information to be found quickly and accurately(1515. Santos CMC, Pimenta CAM, Nobre MRC. A estratégia Pico para a construção da pergunta de pesquisa e busca de evidência. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2007;15(3):508-11.1616. Whittemore R, Knafl K. The integrative review: updated methodology. J Adv Nurs. 2005;52(5):546-53.). Taking this into consideration, the result for the question design was: (PI) = nursing; (P2) = health services; (I) = leadership evaluation; (C) = no comparison; (O) = instruments.

A bibligraphic survey was performed in the databases Latin America and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (LILACS), PubMed/Medline (PUBMED), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), using the controlled descriptors "leadership” "nursing” "nurses” "evaluation studies” "surveys and questionnaires” "professional competence” and "health services” and the noncontrolled descriptor "health professional” Controlled descriptors were stipulated by the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCS). The Boolean operators "AND” and "OR” were applied to cross the descriptors.

The review included full primary papers in Portuguese, English and Spanish that addressed the subject "use of instruments to evaluate leadership” published between 2006 and 2016. The search was carried out between May and June 2016. Exclusion criteria encompassed theses, dissertations, monographies, books and reviews of any kind.

To decrease the risk of bias, two reviewers were recruited and identified as main reviewer and reviewer with mastery on the subject. First the paper titles and abstracts were read and an initial selection took place. Subsequently, a previously developed instrument was applied to assure that all the relevant data would be collected, minimizing the risk of mistakes during the transcription, certifying a precise information check and serving as a registry(1717. Souza MT, Silva MD, Carvalho R. Revisão integrativa: o que é e como fazer. Einstein (São Paulo). 2010;8(1):102-6.). The characteristics covered by the instrument were: paper identification (paper and journal titles, authors and year of publication); methodological features of the study (objective, sample details, methodology details, data treatment or analysis, results and conclusions) and evaluation of the methodological rigor (clarity in the description of the methodology and identification of limitations or biases)(1818. Ursi ES, Galvão CM. Prevenção de lesões de pele no perioperatório: revisão integrativa da literatura. Rev Latino-Am Enfermagem. 2006;14(1):124-31.).

To classify the levels of evidence in the manuscripts, evaluation criteria that took into account the types of questions addressed in the primary studies were used(1919. Melnyk BM, Fineout-Overholt E. Evidence-based practice in nursing and healthcare: a guide to best practice. 2nd ed. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer; Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2011. p. 25-39.). Figure 1 presents a flowchart depicting the database survey, selection and inclusion of the manuscripts for the review. A total of 2,075 references were chosen, distributed as follows: CINAHL: 412 papers; EMBASE: 900 papers; LILACS: 246 papers and PUBMED: 517 papers.

RESULTS

The set of selected primary studies was the starting point to determine the characteristics of the instruments and leadership styles/models/theories. These features can be seen in Chart 1.

The number of papers included in this review from each database was: CINAHL: 17 papers; EMBASE: 8 papers; LILACS: 7 papers; PUBMED: 6 papers, totaling 38 studies. As for the year of publication, seven (18.4%) papers were published between 2014 and 2015 and four (10.5%) in 2013. Thirty manuscripts (78.9%) were published in English, six (15.7%) in Portuguese and two (5.4%) in Spanish. The number of papers originated in Brazil and Canada was significant - both presenting seven publications (18.4%), followed by the United States, with six papers (15.9%).

Regarding the composition of the samples, there were 17 studies with nurses, four with healthcare professionals in general, four with nurses and nursing technicians and a few described investigations with a mix of nurses and other professionals.

DISCUSSION

By analyzing the development of leadership based on the creation or adaptation of evaluation tools, the selected studies demonstrate the relevance of leadership evaluation based on validated instruments. Investing on and assessing leadership is essential to reach a leader's main function: the development of people. However, to function in this area, it is necessary to have knowledge of current models and/ or theories about the subject. Hence, instruments or tools, whose development is based on different leadership theories/models/styles, can be applied to evaluate leadership.

The most abundant theoretical framework in the investigated manuscripts was transformational leadership: more than half the papers addressed this model(2121. Martin JS, McCormack B, Fitzsimons D, Spirig R. Evaluation of a clinical leadership programme for nurse leaders. J Nurs Manag. 2012;20(1):72-80.3737. Pucheu A. ¿Cómo el liderazgo transformacional de supervisoras de enfermería afecta el burnout de enfermeras clínicas? evidencia de dos hospitales chilenos. Cienc Trab. 2010;12(38):403-9.,5656. Munir F, Nielsen K. Does self-efficacy mediate the relationship between transformational leadership behaviours and healthcare workers'sleep quality? a longitudinal study. J Adv Nurs. 2009;65(9):1833-43.5858. Nielsen K, Yarker J, Brenner SO, Randall R, Borg V. The importance of transformational leadership style for the well-being of employees working with older people. J Adv Nurs.2008;63(5):465-75.), which corroborates other studies(5959. Cummings GG, MacGregor T, Davey M, Lee H, Wong CA, Lo E, et al. Leadership styles and outcome patterns for the nursing workforce and work environment: a systematic review. Int J Nurs Stud. 2010;47(3):363-85.6262. Reichenpfader U, Carlfjord S, Nilsen P. Leadership in evidence-based practice: a systematic review. Leadersh Health Serv (Bradf Engl). 2015;28(4):298-316.). Transformational leadership is wide, visionary and charismatic, characteristics that made it one of the most popular in the present days. The relationship between leader and team is inspiring, and leaders are known to identify potential in their followers(6363. Burns J M. Leadership. New York: Perenium; 1978.6666. Jogulu UD, Wood GJ. The role of leadership theory in raising the profile of women in management. Equal Opport Int. 2006;25(4):236-50.).

This model was important in the instruments that evaluate leadership in health professionals; MLQ(2727. Horwitz IB, Horwitz SK, Daram P, Brandt ML, Brunicardi FC, Awads S. Transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant leadership characteristics of a surgical resident cohort: analysis using the multifactor leadership questionnaire and implications for improving surgical education curriculums. J Surg Res.2008;148(1):49-59.3737. Pucheu A. ¿Cómo el liderazgo transformacional de supervisoras de enfermería afecta el burnout de enfermeras clínicas? evidencia de dos hospitales chilenos. Cienc Trab. 2010;12(38):403-9.), which assesses transformational and transactional leadership, stood out as one of the most cited. Transactional leadership is characterized by exchange between leader and subordinate, who is rewarded for obeying(6363. Burns J M. Leadership. New York: Perenium; 1978.). These leaders are defined as people that emphasize standardized work and directed tasks(6666. Jogulu UD, Wood GJ. The role of leadership theory in raising the profile of women in management. Equal Opport Int. 2006;25(4):236-50.).

Other instruments that stood out in the transformational category were the Global Transformational Leadership Scale(5656. Munir F, Nielsen K. Does self-efficacy mediate the relationship between transformational leadership behaviours and healthcare workers'sleep quality? a longitudinal study. J Adv Nurs. 2009;65(9):1833-43.5858.

J Adv Nurs.2008;63(5):465-75.), TLI(3333. Fonseca AMO, Porto JB. Validação fatorial de escala de atitudes frente a estilos de liderança. Aval Psicol. 2013;12(2):157-66.), STL(3131. Edwards JR, Knight DK, Broome, KM, Flynn PM. The development and validation of a transformational leadership survey for substance use treatment programs. Subst Use Misuse. 2010;45(9):1279-1302.), LPI(2121. Martin JS, McCormack B, Fitzsimons D, Spirig R. Evaluation of a clinical leadership programme for nurse leaders. J Nurs Manag. 2012;20(1):72-80.2626. Apekey TA, Mcsorley G, Tilling M, Siriwardena AN. Room for improvement? leadership, innovation culture and uptake of quality improvement methods in general practice. J Eval Clin Pract. 2011;17(2):311-8.) and Scale of attitudes toward leadership styles(3333. Fonseca AMO, Porto JB. Validação fatorial de escala de atitudes frente a estilos de liderança. Aval Psicol. 2013;12(2):157-66.).

The following instruments were identified for situational leadership: LEAD(4949. Silva MA, Galvão CM. Aplicação da liderança situacional na enfermagem de centro cirúrgico. Rev Esc Enferm USP 2007;41(1):104-13.5050. Intaraprasong B, Potjanasitt S, Pattaraarchachai J, Meennuch C. Situational leadership styles, staff nurse job characteristics related to job satisfaction and organizational commitment of head nurses working in hospitals under the jurisdiction of The Royal Thai Army. J Med Assoc Thai. 2012;95(suppl. 6):S109-19.), Grid Gerencial(4343. Castro CB, Santos I. Estilos dimensões do comportamento de liderança de enfermeiros líderes do cuidar em saúde. REME Rev Min Enferm. 2008;12(4):453-60.) and the Coaching tool(4141. Cardoso MLAP, Ramos LH, D'Innocenzo M. Liderança coaching: um modelo de referência para o exercício do enfermeiro-líder no contexto hospitalar. Rev Esc Enferm USP 2011;45(3):730-7.4242. Cardoso MLAP, Ramos LH, D'Innocenzo M. Coaching leadership: leaders'and followers’ perception assessment questionnaires in nursing. Einstein (São Paulo). 2014;12(1):66-74.). This type of leadership is centered in the leader, the subordinates and the situation; the main approaches are Fiedler's model, the Hersey-Blanchard situational theory and Robert House's path-goal leadership theory. Fiedler's model associates the different leadership styles with varied situations to know the contingencies that make a style more effective, taking into account that some leaders are motivated by tasks and some by relationships. The Hersey-Blanchard situational theory considers that the leader's behavior and way of acting depend on the level of maturity of the subordinates and that the more mature they are, the more the leadership style changes. Robert House's pathgoal leadership theory says that an efficient leader charts a path that guides the team to achieve goals, reduces obstables and difficulties, helps, supports and rewards subordinates, so that they meet targets(6565. Wagner III JA, Hollenbeck JR. Comportamento organizacional: criando vantagem competitiva. São Paulo: Saraiva; 2003.,6767. Fiedler FE. Engineer the job to fit the manager. Harvard Business Rev. 1965;43(5):115-22.6969. Cruz MRP, Nunes AJS, Pinheiro PG. Teoria contingencial de Fiedler: aplicação prática da escala Least Prefered Co-Worker (LPC). Covilhã: Universidade da Beira Interior, Departamento de Gestão e Economia; 2010. Textos para Discussão n° 8.).

The behaviors in servant leadership in the set of selected studies were evaluated through the SLQ(4848. Garber JS, Madigan EA, Click ER, Fitzpatrick JJ. Attitudes towards collaboration and servant leadership among nurses, physicians and residents. J Interprof Care. 2009;23(4):331-40.) and SLS(4545. Gunnarsdóttir S. Is servant leadership useful for sustainable Nordic health care? Nord J Nurs Res. 2014;34(2):53-5.4646. Hanse JJ, Harlin U, Jarebrant C, Ulin K, Winkel J. The impact of servant leadership dimensions on leader-member exchange among health care professional. J Nurs Manag. 2016;24(2):228-34.) tools. This leadership model was originally described as a philosophy that values altruism. Thus, an altruist leader shows a strong desire to make a positive difference in people's lives(7070. Barbuto J E, Hayden RW. Testing relationships between servant leadership dimensions and leader member exchange (LMX). J Leaders Educ. 2011;10(2):22-37.). The altruist gift is related to the will to serve, disposition to sacrifice to benefit collaborators, emotional cure, wisdom, persuasive mapping and organizational management(7171. Almeida SP, Faro A. Tradução, adaptação e validação do Servant Leadership Questionnaire (Escala de Liderança Servidora). Rev Psicol Organ Trab. 2016;16(3):285-97.).

The ALQ instrument(5151. Wong CA, Giallonardo LM. Authentic leadership and nurse-assessed adverse patient outcomes. J Nurs Manag. 2013;21(5):740-52.5555. Laschinger HKS, Borgogni L, Consiglio C, Read E. The effects of authentic leadership, six areas of worklife, and occupational coping self-efficacy on new graduate nurses’ burnout and mental health: a cross-sectional study. Int J Nurs Stud. 2015;52(6):1080-98.) assessed the behaviors of authentic leadership, a class characterized by leaders aware of their strong and weak points and transparent in their attitudes; moral and ethical conducts; humility in the relationship with subordinates and equilibrated decision making. Therefore, there is a consensus about the four components of authentic leadership: balanced processing; moral perspective and internalized ethics; transparent relationships; and self-knowledge and self-awareness(7272. Santos FB, Tecchio, E, Fialho, F. Liderança autêntica e gestão do conhecimento. Rev Univ Vale Rio Verde. 2014;12(1):579-88.).

Behaviors in charismatic leadership were examined through the Charismatic Leadership Socialized Scale(3939. Chavaglia SR, Coleta MF, Coleta JA, Mendes IA, Trevizan MA. Adaptação e validação da Escala de Liderança Carismática Socializada. Acta Paul Enferm. 2013;26(5):444-54.). This theory advocates that subordinates consider their leader's capacities and talents exceptional, sometimes idolizing the person as a superhuman hero or a spiritual icon(7373. Bass BM. Leadership and performance beyond expectations. New York: Free Press; 1985.). However, charism is not necessarily a set of mystic and innate characteristics and behaviors, but a skill to be learned and depends partially on the perception of the individual and involves a relationship between leader and followers(7474. Dubrin AJ. Fundamentos do comportamento organizacional. São Paulo: Pioneira; 2006.).

Clinical leadership was evaluated through the instruments CLS(2525. Patrick A, Laschinger HKS, Wong C, Finegan J. Developing and testing a new measure of staff nurse clinical leadership: the clinical leadership survey. J Nurs Manag. 2011;19(4):449-60.) and MSF(4444. Lakshminarayana I, Wall D, Bindal T, Goodyear HM. A multisource feedback tool to assess ward round leadership skills of senior paediatric trainees: (1) development of tool. Postgrad Med J. 2015;91(1075):262-7.). The development of this type of leadership is important because it is directly related to the goal of improving the services, considering that it deals with the management of the clinical field and care to patients(2424. Fealy GM, McNamara MS, Casey M, O'Connor T, Patton D, Doyle L, et al. Service impact of a national clinical leadership development programme: findings from a qualitative study. J Nurs Manag. 2015;23(3):324-32.).

Finally, in an innovative proposition, the evaluation instrument for quantum leadership was designed. According to quantum theory, there are seven quantum skills that make leaders capable of examining their mental models, thus promoting their capacity to learn. These skills are: quantum vision; quantum thinking; quantum sensitivity; quantum knowledge; quantum action; quantum trust and quantum being. Using quantum leadership demands that health leaders change their individual paradigm to develop skills in the management of conflicts, assumption of risks, innovation and qualification, creating new organizational cultures and building a context of hope(3838. Dargahi, H. Quantum leadership: the implication for Iranian nursing leaders. Acta Med Iran. 2013;51(6):411-7.).

Several leadership behaviors were present in the investigated instruments; most of them mentioned a form of support to several involved levels (leaders and/or subordinates); other bevahiors were focused on relationships, in which the leader asks for opinions, improves collaboration(4848. Garber JS, Madigan EA, Click ER, Fitzpatrick JJ. Attitudes towards collaboration and servant leadership among nurses, physicians and residents. J Interprof Care. 2009;23(4):331-40.), promotes team formation(4848. Garber JS, Madigan EA, Click ER, Fitzpatrick JJ. Attitudes towards collaboration and servant leadership among nurses, physicians and residents. J Interprof Care. 2009;23(4):331-40.), trains educators and facilitates the development of people; last, some behaviors were directed to tasks, given that the leader provides suitable material and human resources, plans actions and decision making(2626. Apekey TA, Mcsorley G, Tilling M, Siriwardena AN. Room for improvement? leadership, innovation culture and uptake of quality improvement methods in general practice. J Eval Clin Pract. 2011;17(2):311-8.) and clarifies the results to the team, improving supervision and group instruction(4646. Hanse JJ, Harlin U, Jarebrant C, Ulin K, Winkel J. The impact of servant leadership dimensions on leader-member exchange among health care professional. J Nurs Manag. 2016;24(2):228-34.). There were also studies that reported an evaluation aiming to change behaviors(4040. Llapa-Rodriguez EOL, Oliveira JKA, Lopes Neto D, Campos MPA. Avaliação da liderança dos enfermeiros por auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem segundo o método 360°. Rev Gaúcha Enferm. 2015;36(4):29-36.,4444. Lakshminarayana I, Wall D, Bindal T, Goodyear HM. A multisource feedback tool to assess ward round leadership skills of senior paediatric trainees: (1) development of tool. Postgrad Med J. 2015;91(1075):262-7.), stressing topics in which the leader defines priorities to reach success and innovation(5252. Wong CA, Laschinger H, Cummings GG. Authentic leadership and nurses’ voice behaviour and perceptions of care quality. J Nurs Manag. 2010;18(8):889-900.).

Most studies pointed transformational leadership as the great mediator of the aspects related to the health of subordinates, especially quality of sleep, well-being and satisfaction at work. Concurrently, servant leadership stood out as a significant influence on satisfaction at work, and authentic leadership was found positive in terms of its contribution to prevent damages to mental health, mainly the ones caused by the burnout syndrome.

CONCLUSION

The leadership styles, models or theories found more often in the selected papers of the present review were transformational, situational, servant and authentic. Less common types were quantum, charismatic and clinical leaderships.

The transformational leadership model contributed to an increase in motivation and satisfaction at work for providing collective discussion, increase in dialogic communication and active listening to the employees, causing a higher organizational commitment. This type of leadership also stood up in the set of 19 instruments; MLQ, the Global Transformational Leadership Scale, TLI, STL, LPI and Scale of attitudes toward leadership styles were the most cited tools in this category. In the situational leadership evaluation, the instruments LEAD, Grid Gerencial and the Coaching tool were the most commonly used. The behaviors in servant leadership were analysed through SLQ and SLS, and the conducts in authentic and charismatic leadership were assessed by ALQ and the Charismatic Leadership Socialized Scale, respectively. Clinical leadership was investigated through CLS and MSF tools.

The survey in the mentioned databases allowed to identify the main contemporary leadership styles, models and theories and analyze their use to design instruments to evaluate leadership, which raises awareness among managers, leaders and workers in the healthcare area of the need to adopt a transforming and inclusive theoretical framework and a practical evaluation of leadership in different scenarios by the application of specific instruments.

The limitation of the present study was the number of researched databases. Although the consulted platforms are relevant in the health field, they were few (four) compared to the total of available databases.
